In college, we used to participate in a long-distance relay race. Each team consisted of four players. One would start the run and, after covering a certain distance, hand over the baton to the next player. The team that finished first would win the match. In life, I often find a resemblance between this game and some of my personal realizations. Families, generation after generation, run like a team where one member hands over the overall progress and reputation to the young bloods. If one generation becomes careless, they not only ruin themselves but also the overall accomplishments, hard work, and sacrifices of a group of people. That’s why it’s our duty to understand the common goals of our ancestors, value their sacrifices, and continue the legacy if it’s for a greater cause. By growing ourselves in numerous ways, we can develop a mindset that can differentiate right and wrong. We can see whether we need to bring any corrections or add anything where a former member failed to focus on. Overall, the result should be positive. We should feel proud at the end of the race and be satisfied that we tried our level best and did what we had to do. As we pass the baton to the next generation, do we wish to hold our heads high with pride, or hang them low in regret? #Legacy #PersonalGrowth #RelayRace Image from: https://lnkd.in/e--4Jg8m

A very correct point of view and a good analogy to describe the inheritance of lifestyles and the preservation of family heritage in this multicultural world.
