A father giving his wisdom talk to his grown up son said “Son, when I go, make sure no one steps into my shoes. Bury these with me”.

The son without any hesitation replied,” Not likely, only I know how much life you have enjoyed, how much pleasure you have given to others, how dearly you have loved and been loved, how freely you have forgiven and forgotten our misdeeds, how you have made us aware and appreciative of the Nature and the Environment, how much you have contributed to making this world a better place for us and others, how much you have sacrificed to make me a better person… You may not have moved the mountains but surely you gave us a happy home. You may not have left mark on the world but you have deep imprints on our world…”
