Your legacy

There’s a hot topic in the press right now. It’s all about how your internet postings may become a source of embarrassment later on in life and should take steps to sanitize your internet trail.

I remember reading a quote by the playwright Moss Hart. He said, “A bad review is better than no review at all.”

Most of us will not create a living legacy. Not a great book, a museum masterpiece, a grand piece of architecture, a memorable poem, a musical opus, or any other tangible legacy.

The sum of your postings will be your legacy.  Are you really worried about what you leave behind?  Will you be embarrassed when you are cold in the grave?

Consider this:
A tarnished legacy is better than no legacy at all.
