"What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.” Albert Pine.
Albert Pine is so right on his statement. It is actually funny, isn’t it? Particularly if you think that nowadays people seem to care more about what they do for themselves than what they do for others. Taking Pine’s quote into consideration one could say that people nowadays want to be forgotten.
I guess that nobody really wants to be forgotten or remembered for negative reasons. We all want to be remembered for our good qualities. In order for this to happen we need to touch other people lives in a positive way.
There is another quote, this time by John Bunyan that says, “You have not lived until you have done something for someone who can never repay you”. I guess when you do something for somebody who can never repay you, you will become immortal for that person or that community.

i love these words too “You have not lived until you have done something for someone who can never repay you”. As much as death freaks me out at times,but i would love to know i died having had an impact on someone's life.
