Brain Snacks 017: The math of legacy

Your entire legacy will be made up from one simple equation:

Reputation multiplied by time.

Reputations can be temporary (remember high school?) but if repeated and continued for long enough, voila! You’ve got a legacy on your hands.

The good news? Whatever you’re know for now - you have time to change that. (Case in point: Alfred Nobel.)

If you wait long enough, you’ll be known for something.

If you work long enough, you’ll be known for something, too.
