I heard a story recently that caught my attention. This business guy was traveling for a meeting, and the airline lost his luggage. He needed a suit and didn’t want to spend a lot on a replacement suit, so he went to the thrift store. He found one, bought it and took it back to the hotel to change it and get ready for the meeting.

Everything fit great but when he started putting his wallet, pen, money clip etc in the pockets, he realized the suit didn’t have any pockets.  He took the jacket off and looked at the label and it was from a funeral home. Apparently, the funeral home ordered suits in bulk for burial purposes and ordered them without pockets.

The guy said to himself, “well, I guess I understand why there isn’t any pockets. You can’t take anything with you.” I know it is a bit morbid but think for just a minute that you literally will leave every single thing you own behind when you die. The only thing you can take with you is the reputation and memory those you leave behind will have of you. KT
