It was Stephen Covey,the author of " The 7 Habits Effective People", the international bestseller named the Most Influential Business Book of the Twentieth Century, who popularized the famous statement " To live, to love and to leave a legacy".
Most people just live. Of these, there are those whose mission is to love. But, very few people actually learn and fewer still leave legacies.
It is, however, the people who have learnt and have left legacies who are remembered and honoured; the rest are often forgotten and fade into oblivion. The great gurus of the past - Siddharta Guatama the Buddha, Jesus and Muhammad, for example - had all endowed mankind with eternal legacies of peace, and enriched people through the ages of lifelong learning principles. These great personalities are not mere preachers but are very exemplary models for generations past, for us, and for our posterity.
The others, leaders in their own special fields, who left legacies of excellent commitment to their causes, include Mohandas Gnadhi the Mahatma, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Edison, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Napolean Bonaparte and Isaac Newton among others.
