The Last Testament

There's a maxim in Journalism that I live my life by and it is:

"YOU ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS YOUR LAST STORY"

And if you think about it, that is quite a humbling thought that will definitely keep you motivated to do your best, everyday. No matter what I do, no matter how grand it WAS, my accomplishments are only as good as that last story. If I were to take my last breath - that last story would be my legacy... And so every day I get up, I work to make it count - no matter what...whether it be love, kindness, charity, learning, work even a stinging word or a good swift kick to someone who may need it. Have you ever thought about your last accomplishment - was it a good one? Are you happy with it? If not and since you got the opportunity to draw another breath today do something better or just DO SOMETHING!
We never know what our "Last Story" may be, we never even know when our last story may "air" or "run" but one thing we do know -

"WE ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS OUR LAST STORY"

Here's to making it a great one!

    Thank you for visiting! I was just listening to a tape today where the narrator said "Whatever the great majority is doing under any given circumstance, if you do exactly the opposite you probably will never make another mistake as long as you live" Earl Nightingale
