6/28 (Sat.) How do you want to be remembered (Host: Johnie)

[Johnie]

Today, let’s talk about a serious or perhaps even slightly heavy topic. I hope this won’t scare you away, and I also hope that we’ll have a clearer sense of direction for our future by the end of the discussion.


Session I

Q1: Who is the person you care most about right now? Aside from money or financial burdens, what would you most like to leave for them after you're gone? —and why?


Q2: Who is the role model you've always wanted to emulate or become like in your life? Why do you admire him/her? And how are you working toward becoming the person you envision yourself to be?

Q3: Regarding Steve Jobs' famous commencement speech at Stanford University, most people remember the quote, "Stay hungry, stay foolish."
But, in the second part of his speech, when talking about love and loss, he encouraged students to "not settle" and to keep searching for their passion and what they truly love. In contrast, another TED Talk, How to Leave a Legacy, a relatively unknown young man from Korea who emphasizes "live your life."

My interpretation is to simply live well—regardless of whether your life is extraordinary or not—because the legacy you leave behind is your one-of-a-kind self.

Do you think these two perspectives are in conflict? And which one would you choose—or are you already approaching one of them?



Session II

Q1: If you could write your own epitaph, what would it say? Why?

Q2: Similar to the question 1, If your soul could listen at your own farewell ceremony, what would you most hope to hear people you loved mention you—and what would you least want to hear?
Or maybe ask a Yoyo member who knows you well—plz don't feel offended: What would he or she say about you at your farewell ceremony?

Q3: How do social media and modern technology influence the way we shape our legacy and how people remember us?

This is undoubtedly a very good topic. Since I'm just a nobody, and not capable, I don't think to leave a legacy is an important thing to do, even it's for someone you love. I would agree with "live your life". Then again, I don't think it has any conflict with what Steve Job says neither. At the end of the day, it's better to live a life you truly love, isn't it? Or, to live a life for leaving a legacy!?
