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.
Im 50. It isn't going to happen
