If you fail to leave a child or children behind it does not matter. Yes! but if you fail to leave behind your own footprints on the sands of time it matters. Because, you should succeed in leaving your footprints behind for the posterity. Besides that, the posterity ahead cannot and will not remember or celebrate you for merely succeeding in leaving a child or children behind. Rather, they (the posterity) will only remember or celebrate you for succeeding in leaving your footprints behind. Thus, strive to leave behind nothing else but your footprints. -Emeasoba George
