I was asked this in the hotseat - -and my answer is the same.. .
When I was younger, my answer to this question was I wanted to go out in a blaze of glory, go out in such a way it would be talked about for years. It was a way to never be forgotton. Later years, I just want to leave quietly, no fanfare, just quietly disapear, that I don't have to be remembered, and I don't want to be remembered.
But the mark that I want to leave on this world I take from the poem, Success, that has always been incorrectly attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson... I want to leave the world knowing that just one life has breathed easier because I have lived. I'm just waiting to find that one life...
