I think legacy is gift. Not memory. Memory is not important and I don't really want to do that. The gift I want to give most importantly is principles to help people. Legacy is gift to principles. That's why I wrote these books. I wrote Principles of Life and Work, which over 5 million people read in 36 languages in something like 125 countries.
