ANYONE CAN LEAVE A MEMORY; NOT EVERYONE LEAVES A LEGACY

Marshal Lyautey, one of Napoleon III’s generals, was reported to have the most beautiful garden in France. Standing with his head gardener, looking out over his estate, he observed the wonderful specimens of the world’s great trees planted there. Lyautey then turned to the gardener and said, “I see no copper beech tree.” His gardener replied, “But mon général, such a tree takes 150 years to grow.” Lyautey, without a second’s hesitation, said, “Then we must plant today­ - we have no time to waste. Like the planting of a copper beech tree, to embark on the journey of complete family wealth is an extraordinary act: the members who initiate the process will never know whether they were ultimately successful. If you are courageous and you want to be a wealth creator in the most profound sense, get started. There is no time to waste.
