Memento

500 years from now, your descendants probably don't know you. I don't know who mine were, but someone else might know.

How come famous people, good and bad, were remembered? They did something that scarred the world beyond what we knew. We don't know any formula for doing that with our families.

Autobiographies might help, but make sure it is easy to preserve and readable after a certain time.

Someone has to narrate your adventure and I don't think my name is going to the history books anytime soon.

There are two good ways to be remembered for a long time.

1. Scar the world beyond what anyone would expect(do something that will be written down in history books.)

2. Write an autobiography that will be readable after several generations and have it reproduced every few generations.

Do this to prevent a fate worse than death and to let your family be proud of you(at least acknowledge you) for generations to come.
