QUIT WHILE YOU'RE AHEAD

Last week, I was at a seminar with the Deputy minister of finance Ghana and when he was asked what he would like to be remembered for, he said he would like to be forgotten 😯. Really weird right? Yea, I thought so too. He went on to say most times, when people are remembered, it's usually for something horrible that happened during their tenure and if you think of it like that, he doesn't want to be remembered at all. While I don't think people only remember leaders that were awful, I think he was unto something. It is said that people could forget what you said, what you did and how you behaved but not how you made them feel. It is also common knowledge that if you lived your life doing nice things to people and at some point, you did one bad thing, people are more likely to remember and talk about the bad thing when they think about you. Insane but true. If that be the case, I say quit! Quit while you still make everyone feel great. Be like  Zinedine Zidane,
