Have you ever thought how much wisdom, knowledge, and creative ideas someone can have during one's life on earth? Of course they depend on the person oneself. But even for an average person like most of us, they are uncountable, good or bad. Now, what will happen to them if the person die? It's certainly gone, gone like the wind if they are not passed to any living human being or documented in oral or written forms. And it happens every minute under the sun. Someone out there is dying now, I am sure.
The message is that there will be a great loss in the history of mankind if distinguished individuals who are rich and deep in wisdom, knowledge and brilliant ideas do not take a small fraction of their lifetime to make records of them in audio or, preferrably written forms, like books, pictures, photographs, notes, videos, or tapes. Records from people's memories are OK too, but they may be not authentic and original anymore, due to the subjectivity of the living witnesses and the volatility of man's memory.
Writing your principles, wisdom, knowledge, ideas and hard lessons of life (everyday) may become your greatest contribution to the world. Who knows that you know something that some day will determine the future of man?
