When you look up the word legacy, you get a definition stating something along the lines of “what is left by a person when they pass.”  In today’s consumer culture, where products are built to be replaced by the seemingly endless supply of newer versions, we are undoubtedly almost programmed to think of something tangible when given a definition like this; quite simply, we think of stuff.  But a legacy is far more than something that can be measured.  In history, we study legacies all the time; legacies last.  Why is it that we still have so many questions about the Roman Empire, the Egyptian Pyramids, Stonehenge, the Aztecs, etc.  It is as if they are almost timeless.  

So how does a person leave a legacy?  What are the things about a person that would allow them to leave a legacy?  Is it what a person does? How they behave? What they value?  Their character?
