I know exactly what legacy means.No he's right...you don't understand what "legacy" means.
Perhaps you also can't read, because it didn't say a family was his "greatest" desire.
I think that you all should get a dictionary and see that most definitions deal with whats being handed down.
Also In most societies its talking about what a person or group passes to a future generation. Ntm, the guy mentions Not having a fam over and over and even in his book..... It was a goal he didn't complete.
