RE: Your Legacy for Today
June 13, 2008One of my favorite websites is DailyLit.com. In case you’re not aware of it, DailyLit provides you with a daily email excerpt of a book, which will allow you – over the course of time, to eventually read the entire work. Albeit, in little pieces. But it’s great when you have time for small nuggets without having to sit down in the easy chair and read away the afternoon.
They have close to a 1000 titles, including classics to new releases.
Right now I’m reading a great Tom Peters book called 100 Ways to Succeed/Make Money. Today’s excerpt is so FANTASTIC, I thought I’d share it here. Enjoy! If you’d like to subscribe to this book too, click here.
THINK (OBSESS) LEGACY!
One!
Here’s the deal. It’s 5 a.m. (09.28.2004) as I write. I have a day crammed full of miscellaneous (that dreaded word!) activities ahead, ending with a flight from Boston/Logan to London/Heathrow. But the…THE…Pressing Question is: WHAT WILL (in One Sentence) THE LEGACY OF THIS DAY HAVE BEEN FOR TP?
Yes, I believe a Single Day can have as much of a “legacy” as a lifetime. In fact that had better be the case! Why? Because the day…stretching out before me…filled (at the moment) with limitless opportunities…is…ALL I HAVE!
Right?
Just another day?
Hardly!
THIS IS IT!
All those things…grand and mundane…I want to do with my life will either be abetted or thwarted or put off or ignored in the course of…THIS ONE, UNFURLING DAY.
So: What (One Sentence) will Today’s Legacy be…for You?
