We don't live simply for ourselves.

We live for our past and our future. I want to do well in school and be successful so my parents are able to be proud of me. I aso want the future of my family to be able to look up to me. I mainly live for those who are coming after me because I want them to have more opportunities than I had. I also want to be a role model to those who come after me because they need a positive influence in life. The future needs things to live up to also. They need goals to be set for them by the people who came before them to inspire them. Just like we have people that have set goals for us and gave us aspirations.
