On Writing and Doing

If you would not be forgotten when you are dead and rotten, either write things worth the reading or do things worth the writing.
- Benjamin Franklin

    Meena,

    Would that each of us would live by this siimple precept. Unfortunately, most people can’t take the time to consider either side of that equation, or they think they already do. I pray that all the practice will allow me the ability to do one or the other.

    Meena,

    This is one of my very favorite quotes that I constantly keep in mind to inspire and motivate me. It reminds that I write not for myself, but for those who will come after me.
    Thanks for posting it!
    I’m enjoying exploring your Musings! :)
