I'm 45 so five years off fifty which is kind of daunting but ultimately I kind of feel like fretting over a legacy is pretty pointless. Even if you do something awesome it will fade into history eventually. It's really only pride that makes it an issue. Just enjoy your life and help others to enjoy their time.
