Leaving An Impression

Many people move in and out of our lives but only a few are really remembered for the fact that they leave impression on our lives whether good or bad.

As everybody grows up and moves on in life, one meets many people with different personalities or some of even the same. People come out to be good for you then you interact with them and be nice to them and if someone you hate to see from the first moment, one will never lift an eye to that person. People who leave an imprint on our lives are the ones that we either love for hate. The next common reason is that once we had relations with them and then somehow got broken up and haven’t talked for years when our want is to talk to them to sort things out.

Life rolls and no one waits for anybody because they can’t help moving because they are getting pushed like in a crowd and the second man takes the wrong meaning of this thing. In this short time many don’t bother about leaving an impression for the next generation. Many try and fail and out of these some get up and carry on. Some leave an impression on our lives good or bad but to teach us a lesson of life.

Talking of these lives who have left an impression on us, one of them is the king who unified Nepal. Prithivinarayan Shah left a good impression by unifying Nepal into one nation. Mahatma Gandhi, the great Indian freedom fighter, left a good impression by leading the independence movement.

Many are our questions as we grow bigger and more is the need of the answer as we become more inquisitive. It is in our hands if we want to leave an impression on earth to teach many a men lessons they need to learn. After all life is full of learning lessons and more good things we do more good things are laid upon us to do. If one can keep on going that person will achieve atleast something for what he or she has done and maybe not all but many will remember for all the good things you’ve done or the bad things because I believe bad impressions also make people learn good lessons.

So the question lies in our hearts. Can we leave an impression of ourselves in this world?
