From Michael Gerber's "The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do About It" (italics added by me).
"I’d like you to imagine that you are about to attend one of the most important occasions of your life.
It will be held in a room sufficiently large to seat all of your friends, your family, your business associates—anyone and everyone to whom you are important and who is important to you.
Can you see it?
The walls are draped with deep golden tapestries. The lighting is subdued, soft, casting a warm glow on the faces of your expectant guests. The chairs are handsomely upholstered in a golden fabric that matches the tapestries. The golden carpeting is deeply piled.
At the front of the room is a dais (a raised platform), and on the dais a large, beautifully decorated table with candles burning at either end.
On the table, in the center, is the object of everyone’s attention. A large, shining, ornate box. And IN the box is… YOU! You're dead. It's your funeral.
Now, listen.”
What do you hear? How do you want to be remembered?
