A speaker asks younger students to imagine their own funeral and what people will say about them, then argues that your daily choices in school, relationships, and money have to match what you actually want to be remembered for.
Think about when you die, what do you want people to say about you? What kind of a person were you? What impact did you have in the world? And so the others who are even younger were like, that's so weird. I'm like, yeah, but think about it just for a minute. It's not a morbid exercise, but when you're not there, what do you want people to say? Was she kind? Was she fun? Did she make a lot of money? Did she build this? Did she do that? And they sat there and they had answers. And I was like, you see, the good thing is now you know that's what you're trying to achieve. So now in your everyday life, in your school, when you're choosing what to do at school for a degree, when you're meeting people, remember that that's what's important to you. You can't say I want to be remembered as a kind person and you're mean to people every day. You can't say I want to be remembered as a rich person, but you're not working hard in school, you're not trying to start a business, you're not understanding financial literacy now. So the two have to like add up and be in alignment.
