I stopped reading here. Where do I sign?

I disagree completely that a legacy is a necessary component of having led a fulfilled life - even though I personally seek to leave behind some legacy myself. That said, how hasn't Ferris left a legacy? He's published something that's been read by more people than just about any of us would ever achieve in our lives, and that's at age 33.
The best most of us can hope for is to influence a few people in the form of children.
In my experience, "eye on the prize" styles of living is the surest way to miss out on all the flowers along the road.
