Making your ancestors proud < making your descendants proud.

The catch is you usually know more of your ancestors. For example my descendants are two people whereas I know a few dozen ancestors.

The longer you live, the more that reverses. My grandmothers died knowing damn near 60 of their grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great great grandchildren.
