The best "wisdom" ever read

I like inspirational tought and this is one of my favourite now.

"For each of us eventually, whether we are ready or not some day it will come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days. All the things you collected whether treasured or forgotten will pass to someone else. Your wealth,fame and world power will shrivel to irrelevance. It won’t matter what you owned or owed. Your grudges,resentments, frustrations and jealousies will finally disappear. So too your hopes, ambitions, plans and to do lists will expire. The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away. It won’t matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you once lived. It wont’ matter if you are beautiful or brilliant. Even your gender or skin color will be irrelevant.
So what will matter? How will the values of your days be measured?
What will matter is not what you bought but what you built. Not what you got but what you gave. What will matter is not your success but your significance. What will matter is not what you learned but what you taught. What will matter is every active integrity, compassion, courage or sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to follow your example. What will matter is not your competence but your character. What will matter is not how many people you knew but how many will feel the lasting loss when you are gone. What will matter is not your memories but the memories that live in those who loved you. What will matter is how long you will be remembered by whom and for what.
LIFE LIVED THAT MATTERS IS NOT OUT OF CIRCUMSTANCE BUT OUT OF CHOICE ." From "Dying to have known" documentary.

 

It was a good message.
The most intelligent pieces of writing where probably from Hygo and Aristotle.
Wisdom... well, part of Sartre's body of works, and probably Sein und ziet. (Being and time)
