Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe expressed a desire not to have lived in vain on his deathbed, unaware that his astronomical tables would lead to Kepler's laws of planetary motion. The measure of an unwasted life is suggested to be how it is lived, emphasizing integrity, authenticity, and creative vitality rather than what is left behind. Most individuals may not leave a significant legacy but often overlook the importance of how they live their lives.
