I rarely delve into popular blog trending for my personal writing
however, today - I put that norm aside
Steve Jobs died
I mourn his death, not because of my iPhone or iPad or MacBook or the sleek way they all integrate and have changed the way we live
I mourn because one person has died
...
...
but I got to thinking:
how many others die without so much as a whisper?
who grieves? who mourns for them?
...
and then I got to thinking
as I read posts and blogs and random thoughts from random people:
what will be my mark on this existence? (I know you're all thinking it too)
...and then I really got thinking:
all my ambition, all my drive - rubbish if I lose grip of one key truth
"the last will be first and the first will be last"
I pray that I will be found faithful as a servant
...
what will your mark be?
will this world be better or worse after you're done here?

Honestly, this is what drives me! I want to change peoples lives and i want to be seen as a giant in the world of Ecology.
I think there are 2 types of people. There are the people that let self doubt dictate their lives and hold them back from bringing significance to the world (99% of people fall in this category). Then there are the people who have the confidence to say "i am who i am, i have values and aspirations and i am not going to let the world hold me back". These are the people that stand boldly outside society and actually make differences. Sadly there are too few of the second group of people.
I think it is sobering to accept death and say "what would i be remembered for" or "what would people say about me when i die". Life is a precious gift, one that should not be squandered. It should be taken seriously. Honestly, our world would be so much better if people lived like the second group of people...
