David,
One thing I have observed is that the people that start by saying they want to be remembered for doing something are remembered for something bad. The rest start out just doing something and get famous later. Be prepared (for any old thing!) and you can leave a mark. Think about it...Do you want to be a Napoleon or a Thomas Edison? A Mussolini or a Florence Nightingale, Steve Wosniak, Andrew Carnegie, George Westinghouse, Nikola Tesla.
Everyone you meet on the street is changed by you forever. It may be small or it may be huge, your impact is up to you. Smile and nod and the person may go on to have a happy day, frown and sneer and the person may remember you forever. Acquire understanding and pass that understanding on to others.
And in case you haven't figured it out yet, that was a big, verbal, kick in the butt your mom gave you. Get up and do something about it.
