To be equally frank, my problem actually is that you don't get my joke.

To be serious, people have always been remembered by what they have accomplished in life. The easiest way to do that work, whatever that may be. Some people are remember for siring someone who did something in their career, but let's face it: historical figures are generally remembered for what they did, whether it was President, king, inventor, executioner or salesman. Your career is generally the mark on the world that you can control. You can't control what your children will do, and they make their own marks.
