[00:15.59]All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else. [00:22.24]Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. [00:27.96] It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed. [00:31.99]Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear. [00:37.45]So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will all expire. [00:43.80] The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away. [00:49.00]It won’t matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived. [00:54.52]It won’t matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant. [00:57.76] Your gender, skin color, ethnicity will be irrelevant. [01:02.00]So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured? [01:07.03]What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built; [01:11.27]not what you got, but what you gave. [01:14.45]What will matter is not your success, but your significance. [01:19.47]What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught. [01:23.95]What will matter is not your competence, but your character. [01:28.88]What will matter is not how many people you knew, [01:32.60]but how many will feel a lasting loss when you’re gone. [01:36.43]What will matter is not your memories, but the memories of those who loved you. [01:41.71]What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what. [01:46.93]Living a life that matters doesn’t happen by accident. [01:51.20]It’s not a matter of circumstance but of choice. [01:55.24]Choose to live a life that matters. |
