stand for something

Greece might be going bankrupt, and might have to switch over to the Drachma soon. As history goes, they always believed that Athena and the owl should be represented on their coins, so if there’s anything you should be sure of, it’s that Greece will put an owl on their currency.  
Russians put the AK – 47 on their currency, not because they loved firing the gun, but because they want to tell the world what they had accomplished with it.

We must all stand for something, be it a thing good, bad, symbolic, mythical in nature. As individuals, we don’t just have to be there, but also need to have that one thing which everyone knows us by. Because it’s not individuals that everyone remembers, but individuals with stories.
