There are only two things that outlive a man- His works and his words. Which is more important, I do not debate. Each of them standing alone is a potent reminder of who you were and what you did. I am, however, more inclined to believe that a man's words passed down in writing has the highest longevity- practically immortal. It is for this reason I believe everyone should document his beliefs and experiences and compile them into a book- not for the profit (it means nothing when you're dead), but to give an interested reader a front row seat into your life as a human being, a father/mother, a professional, whoever you were. Words are powerful. They always were, and they will always be.
