What I think Mr. Browne’s October precept “Your deeds are your monuments” means that whatever you do will be remembered by other people, and even after you die, you will be remembered for the big things that you have done in life on your monument (Or grave, Whichever you prefer). For example, Terry Fox had tried to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research, and even though he didn’t run the full way and had to stop halfway because his cancer had reached his lungs, he still raised a lot of money for cancer research, and even after he had passed away, people still remembered him for what he had done, in fact, there are even statues commemorating him and his deed. Basically, what I think this precept means, is that you will be remembered for the big things that you had done in life, even the small things, but you probably wont get remembered as much as you would for doing something big.
