When I was in late high school and throughout college, I wrote 1,000 letters to the most important people in the world... seeking inspiration and purpose. I asked their “greatest accomplishment.” I received more than 150 responses including this one from Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died today.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote:
“Aspire, and work hard to achieve your aspirations. Appreciate that, in our open society, no doors are closed to people willing to spend the hours of effort needed to make dreams come true. And leave tracks. Just as others have been way pavers for your good fortune, so you should aid those who will follow in your way. Think of your children and grandchildren to come, and do your part to make society as you would want it to be for them.”
