It is a tough world ahead and the only way to survive is being GOOD
A few decades ago it was true when you say that hundred years from now, probably no one will know that you ever existed, unless you do something grandiosely good or outrageously bad and that was publicized or written about.

This weekend I was out in the city with family walking through china town. It was a pretty long walk for our 4 year old though. Towards evening, that too after having walked all the way he looked at me and put his hands up and said “Take me”. I smiled, took him on my shoulder and we moved on.
