If you know how quickly people forget the dead, You will stop living to impress people.

Most of the time, you live your life trying to impress others because you think that doing so will make them remember you even when you are no longer in this world. But there is one thing you need to know. Contrary to what others claim, people tend to forget the dead quickly.

Many people continue lingering with the moments they spent with someone. But this is not always the case, especially if you don’t have a close connection to that person. Do you think your colleagues will remember you for years? Do you assume that someone you just met once will even recall the luxury bag you were wearing that day?

The answer is a big no. People will not remember the mansion you owned, the luxury sports car you drive to work, or how you change your phone almost every month. These material things may impress them for a moment, but they won’t even remember a thing once you are gone.

So, instead of living your life trying to impress others, it is better to live your life in a more meaningful way. That is, you should try touching their lives deeper. Lend them a hand when they feel down. Brighten up their day with simple gestures of kindness. These small things might not be as impressive as the latest laptop, but these can make a difference in their lives. You don’t have to impress people. You need to do something positive for them. By doing so, they will remember you even when you are already gone.
