Everyone's perception is different, Happiness is a state of mind. Some are happy with money, some are with their loved ones, some are happy when they are alone. You can't generalise everyone on your choice of Life. You want to be happy in your life, how can you be happy? By doing what you like. Those who want to be remembered, are doing througout their life what makes them happy.

I wasn't projecting, just curious about the motivation behind the goal because I only ever heard about the goal itself. And if all that makes you happy, great! I hope you achieve your goals. It's just that you were talking about a life of hardship, not happiness.
