LGRTR

Everyone wants to make a contribution to the world – something that they are known for. Some people have well known contributions: Issac Newton, George Lucas, and Anna Nicole Smith for example. The contribution should be substantial – something that changes the world in some way. However there are some contributions that are very well known but really seem pointless. Like the contribution of Michael Buffer, the famous sporting announcer that has trademarked the phrase “Let’s get ready to rumble!” I would think that being known for saying the same five words (known as LGRTR in short form) in a rousing manner for one’s entire career would not be very fulfilling. But I guess he does prepare people to rumble – so that they don’t miss out on the rumble, or are ill prepared once the rumble starts. I shouldn’t be so quick to judge people’s contributions I suppose.
