George Bernard Shaw, the great playwright and a Nobel Prize winner quoted that, "Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I am permitted to hold for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations."
It really makes me think that the great people always follow the same instinct to pass something good to the next generation. I recall a story where an young and arrogant person blamed an elderly person that I have mobile phones, rockets, speed, transport with airplanes and talked about how great everything was. He finally asked him what did he have? The elderly person calmly replied, we had passion for innovation and because of that, we invented the things which you are using now. What have you done for your future generations?
That's the point which makes me think that we as a citizen of any country have the responsibility for something innovative to make sure that our future generations have something which they can remember. Many people follow the same principle and are great in everything they do. Take example of Bill Gates, he has done so many innovations and he will be remembered as the software king who was the first person to believe that there must be a computer on every desk and every home. People used to call him weird but still he is true and has proved it. Almost everybody now have a computer at their home.
Its up-to you now. To innovate or to leave this world without leaving your mark.
