Last Words.

I go to this website called askaninja.com. People write in and ask a "ninja" questions and he answers them in a web cast. I think it is one of the funniest things out there. So I was watching one that struck me - http://askaninja.com/node/3079 - its called last words check it out. He goes on and does his normal funny stuff but then he says something that made me stop and think. He talks about not letting your life come down to last words. He suggest writing them down now and telling people hey - these are really my last words. Which is not an awful idea considering Pancho Villa, a Mexican revolutionary,was obviously not prepared when he said, "Don't let it end like this. Tell them I said something." But I would like to suggest a different thing. Let the actions of your life be so loud, that at the end, no words are necessary. You don't have to say some long drawn out speech so people will remember you are certain way. Chances are, you may not know the words you are saying are your last. Even if you did manage to get some last words out that were brilliant and amazing, if it didn't match your life, it would not count. What if Chris Farley's last words were; "sorry we never laughed together," or if Hitler said, " I loved everyone." Bottom line, words don't matter, first, last or in between. Its your actions that will tell people how you really think, feel, and believe. What are you DOING to make an impact. Carl Marx had some great last words, "Go on, get out - last words are for fools who haven't said enough." He said this to his housekeeper, who urged him to tell her his last words so she could write them down for posterity. LIVE and DO - don't just talk.
