This video is definitely not new. It was part of a campaign by Johnie Walker “Keep Walking” and won prizes for its creativity and inspirational message. (Watch http://www.johnniewalker.com/en-us/VideoGallery/)
Although it’s been a while since its release, I remembered the fantastic message it carries. Immortality achieved by one great thing. As a person you may do thousands or millions of things, but in history, people aren’t remembered for their daily activities; they’re remembered for their finger print on humanity.
Perhaps in many ways we’re all flawed, but what we’ve achieved in the evolution of society has perhaps been evolution itself. Events that mark the end of eras and the beginning of new ones.
The invention of writing split prehistory from history; the printing press, the automobile, computers, networks. So may this 2011 be filled of opportunities to be seized and turned into great things. Achieve immortality!
