What I find interesting about my grandfather and his life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While he was an accomplished doctor and public figure, I think the only thing which remains from him is his calligraphy (art), and his children (and grand children). <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    It seems that during our lives, we are in such a hurry and rush to make money, to make a name for ourselves, establish our position in the community and society, etc \u00e2\u20ac\u201d but for what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Furthermore I find that most people toward the end of their lives drop almost everything, and generally focus on their artwork, or their families (legacy of their children and grandchildren).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
