Where you come from. What you are. How you were born. Where you are born. That doesn’t matter. What you do. How you spend life. The choices you make. That’s what matters. You are remembered by them. They define you. Whether as rich or poor; beloved or hated; cruel or kind; friend or foe; hero or villain; protagonist or antagonist; free or slave. This is one of the most important lessons anyone can learn from life... and it is a lesson I learned the hard way.
