My dad was advising a man that was complaining about his wife not giving birth to a boy because the man said how will his name "survive"
And my dad said something that made me go crazy with my goals
he said,
If you want your name to live and not die, make a name for yourself. your kids cannot keep your name alive.
If you want your name to survive, give your name life by doing things that people will talk about when you die.
he asked the guy "who remembers the kids of Abraham Lincoln or the kids of Thomas Edison or even Nnamdi Azikiwe?"
"Who even cares about the kids of anyone great in history?" we don't.
So if you want your name to not die, make a name for yourself by being a great person or else, your name will die when you die and there is nothing you can do about it.
Every lineage comes to an end.
But the great names in every dead lineage do not die. They outlive generations.

A 3,200-year-old tablet shows that ancient Egyptians took attendance at work and recorded absences.
One type of reason cited for missing work was "wife or daughter bleeding" referring to menstruation because men were needed at home during this time to help with the housework.
A worker named Pennub missed work because his mother was ill. Other employees were absent due to their own illnesses.
One Huynefer was frequently “suffering with his eye.” Seba, meanwhile, was bit by a scorpion. Several employees also had to take time off to embalm and wrap their deceased relatives.
Some reasons may seem strange to modern ears. “Brewing beer” is a common excuse.
Beer was a daily fortifying drink in Egypt and was even associated with gods such as Hathor. As such, brewing beer was a very important activity. Fetching stones or helping the scribe also took time in the workers' lives.
