Nothing More Than An Unmarked Grave

What will you do to be remebered; to become important? Cure cancer, save lives, be the next Albert Einstein? When you pass on will others think of you as influential and amazing or unnoticeable and dull? Is it important to be important; do you need to do something great? How do we view influential people, important beings? The scientist who discovered a way to use less fossil fuels, or the mother who cared for her family her whole life just to be killed in a horrific car crash, leaving everyone she loved behind? The question is: How is greatness measured, who will be remebered? In later years, who will be heroes of the medical field now in textbooks worldwide, or the unknown, the unmarked grave?
