I find the concept of someone remembering little ole me kind of bizarre. I always thought of myself as someone who kinda fades into the background and no one really gives a second thought to after the fact. I'm always touched to hear "so and so mentioned you were up to ____" regardless of what it is, as well it means they were thinking of me. I find that really humbling (I don't know how much of an ego I can portray on this board, on other's I litterally post as "the Greatest" but it's classic overcompensation, lol).

That said, how do I want to be remebered? I like to think of myself of a man of integrity, honesty, and doing the right thing. Friends look to me when they're in a tough situation or need advice as they know I'll give my perspective regardless if it's positive or not.

I try and help people out whenever I can, I like to think of myself as the guy that says "do you need a hand?" if you mention you're moving. I like to think of myself as the guy that buys you a beer (or beers depending on the situation) when you help him out. I like to think of myself as a sounding board when you're fustrated, and a guy that will try and steer you in the right direction from whatever problem you might have.

I try and be supportive of my friends and family (in the case of my family I might go overboard, especially when it comes to my little brother).

If I was to be remembered for one thing, it's to be a good person. That doesn't mean that I'll always succeed in what I set out to do, or help where I try. But within the wrealm of reason, and ability I try.

I think this is a good question to think about, as it helps give you guidance in the type of person you want to be. A similiar thread might be who are your role models? I try and live up to the person my grandfather was, will I succeed? In my mind, I'll never come close, but it doesn't mean I won't try.
