Mr. Browne’s precept for October is:

You deeds are your monument.

It means that you are remembered for the things that you do. Things are not important at all, action are more important than what you say and what you look like.

Why does August think that? Remember, people treat August badly because he look different? They look at his face weirdly? They judge him only because he looks weird? And don’t even look his act? People never sit beside him, or don’t say anything to him, expect the bad word.

The people who died, but they still in their monument. If you walked in the hallway normally, the people may not even know who you are; but if you did play in a big, famous concert. They know you are player or the singer, they’ll remember you for a long time, or maybe even forever?
