 |  What's the Greatest thing your going to do???
In response to Jake Danger's thread I thought I would do my one but slightly different. If a historian found your Journal in the year 2206, assuming that you have already lived you entire life by this point, what was the greatest thing that you achieved? Its actually quite hard for me to offer my own idea right now because I'm still not well practiced enough at imagining the future that I want to live. The point of this post though is to point out that if you never imagine it you will never achieve it. Its a fundamental idea in personal development. I'll get back to you with my future when I've decided lol...

The greatest thing? Starting a business, being on the media, all this seems so irrevelant when I see how I reconnected with my family, especially my mother, after growing emotionally detached from them for several reasons. I´d never have thought that the history of my family is so rich of funny, weird and disturbing stories. Everything makes so much sense now. This is nothing a historian will take notice of. Maybe he will find out about a business from Germany that tried to build a community of artists with VRML-galleries on the internet, got some media hype and then vanished in the see of all the other dotcoms of that time. Maybe it is not so important to have a chapter in history books after all.  For the future? Who knows - I will start no-budget filming, but don´t expect something that will change history. |

It makes you wonder how many people have made a massive contribution and gone totally unnoticed. Also, how would you measure a contribution? By how happy you make people and how many peoples lives you improve? How do you measure something like that? One of my goals is definately to bring my family closer together.

Interesting variation. I think the greatest thing I have done, at this point, is publish the essays I have in my signature.

Made a positive difference in other's lives. I think my greatest accomplishments are my relationships with those I love.
