What’s going to be your epitaph?
21st January 2006
At a company meeting a few weeks ago, our company CEO made a remark that I thought was very profound. He said, “When I die, I want my tombstone to say: ‘Good men always win eventually and this man lived to prove it!’ That is the driving force of my life.”
I raised this question earlier over here, but probably did not frame it properly, or maybe I mixed it up with other thoughts in that post.
In any case, I did not get much of a response from my readers (are you out there???) So, here I am again (as usual), asking the same question, more directly this time.
What would your tombstone say? What would you like it to say?
If you have a chance to script your own epitaph for your gravestone, what would you like it to say? Why do you think those words would describe your life? Why are they important? How would you live your life so that your words on your tombstone would be an apt description of that life?
Let’s hear it! Post your answers in the comments!
