I think that in life we should all strive to leave a legacy. Whether you know it or not, we are all building our legacy. The stories, memories, and impressions we will leave behind when we die. Every morning we wake up, we are adding another chapter to our legacy.  People like Princess Diana, Mother Teressa, and Harriet Tubman have left us with an extraordinary legacy. When they are remembered they are remembered for their strength, kindness and Love.  What would your legacy be? Would it be one that you would be proud of? Life like every journey has a beginning and an end. Unfortunately unlike most journeys you do not know where or when the journey of life will end, this means two things: firstly, you have to make the most of everyday. Secondly, you have each day to build on to your legacy.

Strive to make your legacy one that you can be proud of. Do something for someone else, whether its opening  the door for someone while they are carrying things, or giving extra change to someone in need, or even making someone’s dreams come true. Make each day count by dedicating it to bettering someone else’s life.

At Brilliant Scientists of Tomorrow, we take our legacy seriously. We strive to help people make their dreams come true. Last week Chikaiko Baleti from Malawi expressed his gratitude to BSOT for the  book scholarship which allowed him to gain access to books that he needed. He said thank you to us, but we should be the ones saying thank you, because it is as a result of his own passion for science and determination that we were able to step in and help. Thank you Chikaiko Baleti for your dedication to science, and thank you for letting us be able to build on our legacy which is building the knowledge of science, and making science accessible to everyone.

What is your legacy?
