"When you look back on your life when you’re old and ask, “What have you done with your life?”
And I don’t mean doing something great like starting foundations over in poor
countries. I don’t mean like being a Nelson Mandela or being a great politician
or statesman who saved thousands of people in Africa. I’m talking about just
the ordinary small things which you have done in
your life. The things which will never be known by anybody
except the people you’ve touched, you’ve helped, you’ve loved, you’ve been kind
to. That is your legacy. That is the reason why you are here. It’s not to be
some big shot who’s famous but to be a beautiful, kind person who’s
served and helped so many. "
