One Of The Strangest Names For Something I’ve Ever Seen

Filed under Thinking Out Loud...

Yesterday I finished speaking in Richmond, IN and was driving through the country back to Indianapolis to catch a flight home. As I was driving, I crossed a creek and I kid you not, the name was…

Nameless Creek

I guess that’s Indiana for you. Maybe someone was just too lazy to come up with anything more creative than that.

But what if that was said about you?

That you’re known for or remembered as that one dude. You’re just known as such-and-such girl. The nameless individual.

So what are you doing to create your legacy? What are you doing to leave your mark on this world?

Don’t follow the crowd. Go against the flow. Be the leader. Set the standard.

Do this, and people will remember you.

Don’t be nameless.

    Congratulations! Given the ability of your siblings to also make Something-Out-Of-Nothing, i would say this is quite a distinction.

    Out here in New Mexico where I live we have a lot of creeks with names but they don’t have any water in them. Maybe they would be better off nameless.
