WHAT WOULD YOU BE REMEMBERED FOR?


Source

INTRODUCTION

I greet all the hivers especially the participants in this wonderful contest packaged by the hive learner's crew.
Sometimes in my imagination, I stroll and ask myself how did this contest emanated and how is being sustained?
Sincerely my unreserved gratitude still goes to the founding fathers.

It's another beautiful mid of the week from my end here and this comes with another epic and truly life reality theme which has do with the next generation. This is timely and life thinking reality for me.
Anyone that lives without considering next generation is just like a death man.

WHAT IS NEXT GENERATION?

Before I proceed, I would like to defined the basic concepts in the aforementioned question.

  • What's the meaning of next?
    I want to describe next as a word which means to come after or immediately after. In this context, I think human beings is the focus therefore it simply means to follow after another human being or come after. Other synonyms that could be used includes succeed, follow, come after, immediately, etc.
  • While on the other hand, Generation can be seen as the group or collection of people with similar characteristics living at a particular time. Generation consists of set of people by age, life view, complexion, contemporary etc that live at a certain time.
  • Joining the two basic words together, NEXT GENERATION can now be said to be as people who would succeed or come after another. Next generation implies collection of people with same ground and perhaps purpose that can succeed another one.

THREE THINGS I CAN LEAVE FOR MY GENERATION

It's expedient that every generation be expectant of what would be bequeathed to them.
What ever we leave speaks volumes either now or later . In fact as if everyone is the product of what the former generation except you deliberately work on it to change narrative.
Follow me gradually as I share with you what I will keep for my generation.

1. PRAYER

I have realised that in life, there are different categories of things that one can leave for a generation though most people's mentality is on the material aspects. There must be a balanced between them.
One of the value I cherish and felt it would play a significant role in the next generation is the issue of prayer.

I think every religion in the world prays or have a being that prayers is channel to directly or indirectly.
I believe that prayer is a master key that if the next generation take hold of it, it can be succeeded by more than two to three different generations.

I have heard a testimony of a land that maintained an altar of prayer for almost 100years. This shows that prayer has been transferred to so many generations.
Personally I don't want to give anything to any Generation that can't be sustained at least for a decade.

Fellow hivers, pray Can open doors for inflow of other things.
Prayer is pregnant with lots of things that if properly explored and guided can result to an indelible changes. I think the issue of prayers.

2. WEALTH

This is another vital thing I will leave for the next generation.
I hail from Africa to be precised Nigeria where there is high level of poverty. Some families find it difficult to feed and take care of basic need of life.
Some have dropped out of school because of financial capacity.

I would not like the next generation to pass through the rough experience I had about life. I have suffered so that they will benefit and enjoy. I will ensure that I invest in to some long time businesses. I know there's difference between being rich and wealthy.

Being wealthy connotes building a strong financial capacity that at least for a decade generation benefit from it.
I will invest into oil wealth to ensure that I have ten ship of oil with filing station across all the cities of the country.

3. LEGACY

I think aside the two things mentioned another one is legacy. This entails the reputation of one's life how he lived. You reap whatever you have planted. Every attitude has its consequences. What would you be remembered for? I have heard and seen people that were dead for a couple of years but their deeds and impact is still alive till date.

If I live my life and maintained all forms of relationship with people around me certainly next generation will reap out of it. Have you ever wonder when you get to a particular place or organisation and suddenly someone favoured you because because of the track record of your parents? I have been an addict beneficiary of such.

I don't struggle to get other things done because of how my parents lived the good legacy for us.
Legacy speaks alot whether you are death or alive.

CONCLUSION

As I wrapped up this, what would you be remembered for is a great question that everyone should think about and adjust where necessary. When you talk about what you will leave for next generation we also talk about what would you be remembered for?

You can't afford to live anyhow because the next generation is waiting and so what will you offer them?
For next generation not to suffer and go through what I went through, I must stand up, fight the fight and ensure that the next generation benefit more and better than me.
