Well i just ripped this off my essay and its not really amazingly well written at all but yea how are people usually remembered.... How are People Usually Remembered?
A topic that usually entices people is how people are usually remembered. How do people actually get this privilege and be remembered for who they are? Most of those who do get remembered are usually famous people like actors, heroes, and sportsmen. Then again, what about those people who are just a small time character in this entire world. There are people who are remembered by people in their hearts simply for the little things they do. I know of these kinds of people, those that are just average Joes but yet remembered in the community. The reasons why these people are remembered is because of what they have done before, what makes them different, and what they compare to other famous people.
First, people are usually remembered for what they have done. People might think that just by doing something special and extraordinary they get remembered. These happen when it comes to the Guinness Book of records. Record breaking wannabes do try out the impossible just to get themselves inside the book. It might seem that it’s a really crazy idea to try and beat records that are set by people who have amazing talents. However, you will be surprised by the amount of people who actually succeed these impossible tasks to set a new record. Then it makes you think again, is it really worth the effort? Imagine being gifted in something special that no one has and given the chance to be remembered for it. Do you think that you don’t mind losing this opportunity and continue being anonymous to the public eye and only special to your family and peers? An increasing number of people prefer to be remembered for what they have and what they do than to just remain anonymous and there is nothing wrong about that. Therefore, people do want to get remembered for what they do and the gifts they might have.
Second, there are certain types of people that are different from others. These are the people who have an exorbitant personality and are always liked by the people. In a community, there usually are people who are either the star or the black sheep. The stars are the one that makes much of the difference in other people’s lives, be it helping them in the simplest way to make that persons day. These kinds of people are often welcomed and blessed with the showers of smile and laughter. However, we cannot forget about those black sheep. As rude as it may sound, the black sheep are always the ones who ruin things, but it is because of their immaturity that they too are remembered. A person usually remembers the bad things that occur to them first before rekindling on the better ones. As unfortunate as it sounds, the black sheep is usually the one that can be recalled first before remembering those outstanding ones. Therefore, the difference in people makes them remembered either for their kindness or their foolishness.
Third, a common question is how people are compared to their more famous counterparts. After all, there are billions of people in earth, how can these individuals compare to those who are stars in Hollywood and yet be remembered as well. Other than being different and what they have done, these individuals are also remembered for just being themselves. A book cannot be judged by its cover and so are people. People are also not what they wear but who they are. People often misjudge others by thinking of the wrong things and assuming things which might not be true. Being original really brings out the character in people; they do not have to act to be remembered. What actually makes people different and accepted is because they are just being themselves. There are people in the other dimension which is similar to you, but not in this world. There can only be one you and no one else can copy who you are. People remember others for what they are and not because they are good at something or pleasing to the eye. Originality is the key component of a person to be easily remembered. Not even actors in Hollywood can compare to that since they themselves are performers of life. Therefore, people are remembered for who they are and not because of their popularity vote.
In conclusion, people are remembered because of what they do, they are different from others and what they are to other famous people. People are remembered by different people for different things. Most of the time, it is the impact on other people that makes these individual so honored to be remembered. Then again, who are those people that we know who we always remember? Not at all an A grade work and yet more thoughts can still be poured into it just that i cant think properly right now but im sure this isnt what i wanted to write at all but then again just a thought to spare.....~Mike"Are we remembered for who we are?"
