Winners and losers

History is being cheated by those who aspire to be at the top but they are not playing by the rules. One of the more notable occurrence of this is in the world of sports. Fame, accolades and worship are being heaped on cheaters and the truly deserving are regarded as losers because the earth only worship winners. The true winners will never be know because many cheated their way to the top and later these winners are thrown into the garbage bins while the wrongs these so called winners commit can never be righted.
History is also just in that often it is years later that a man's worth and work is really appreciated and the due honor is bestowed posthumously. The very reason for which one generation executes a man cause another generation to declare the same man to have been a hero.
Money is good but most time bring prestige when it is amassed and stored. Only a few men's money will last for multiple generations. The things  that are counted as worthy for men to embrace and emulate are the real legacy that is worth creating.
What is it that have cause the great men of yesterday to be revered and allow them to continue to inspire men of the present? What will I leave for future generations to remember?
I can be a winner in my own mind and later history will prove me to be right.

It is never too late

There is a common mistake that many persons are settling for and that is listening to the naysayers that it is too late to begin. Quite often those who go about declaring that it is too late for others to begin striving to achieve their dream or creating their legacy at the same time boast about their own achievements.
It is never too late to begin pursuing your dream because you did not control your past neither do you control your future. Some persons will not agree with this statement but most of us will agree that there are circumstances every day that is outside of our control. It is a willingness to go forward that is needed.
Many persons see legacy as money to be left for those coming after but the reality of this is that unless that money is deposited shrewdly those getting it may just waste it.
On the matter of creating a legacy of money some persons got educated and then have a family while some had their family first and then get educated. Each may be right in their choice.
It is never too late to start because lacking the strength of youth may be compensated by the wisdom of years.
Some of the greatest bequest to mankind is not money and could not be tallied until the death of the person.
