What is the definition of Legacy? π π
Money or property bequeathed to someone in a will.
Alright class, settle down and letβs take a look!
Thatβs a perfectly good definition from the dictionary β βmoney or property left behind in a will.β But "legacy," my dears, is a little more than just stuff. It's a word with a deeper meaning, you see.
Think of it this way:
Legacy means what remains after someone is gone.
Itβs not πjustπ about the coins and castles, though those can be part of it!
Letβs rhyme it out to help us remember:
π"A legacy's a lasting trace,π
πOf kindness, wisdom, or a special space.π"
It could be something they built β like a reputation for honesty. Or maybe an idea they championed, a movement they started. Perhaps even just the πwayπ they made people feel - happy, inspired, or loved.
A legacy isn't always material; itβs about the impact someone has on the world and how they are remembered. Itβs what echoes after their time here on Earth.
Does that make a little more sense? Do you have any questions about what makes up a truly meaningful legacy?
