Leaving an imprint or "footprints" behind after one is gone may be man's symbolic attempt at immortality. Live yourself to the max each day. Discover your strong points and develop your full potential by continually opening your eyes and ears to learning. No man is an island and an island is nothing without man. 

Legacy and heritage are the hallmarks and highlights of one's existence,whether one is the top gun or the lowliest part of the totem pole. It is your very own mark, so make sure that it is visible to others in some way, shape, or form.

The Genealogy of Work (by Mr. Lifedefiner)

 Off to work we go everyday

Have to, coz there are bills to pay

Fresh out of school at first there was no job

Was happy just to have a paystub.

Then got that lucky break to start

Such a big move made me a part

Of a place filled with thinkers, doers, and talkers

All seeking to advance, all players

In the game of life, where everyone tries to balance out

Time for work, family, friends, and more, we shout!

'Tis true: everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die;

Yet as you know: to succeed, gotta follow through and make your ideas fly.

At the end of the day, the bottomline

Is whatever you do, always give your very best, and you'll be fine.
