1. 0:00What is legacy?
2. 0:02Legacy is what remains when a person
3. 0:05bids farewell, and the things, words,
4. 0:08and memories of them that you carry with
5. 0:11you for the rest of your life.
6. 0:15In 1934, a baseball match was taking
7. 0:17place in the USA, and a man was
8. 0:18providing commentary for it. Now, what
9. 0:20was the situation then? There were no
10. 0:21visuals available. Information would
11. 0:23come through Morse code, which was then
12. 0:25deciphered and narrated as commentary on
13. 0:27the radio. The final minute of that
14. 0:29baseball match was underway when the
15. 0:31line went completely dead for 12 minutes
16. 0:33. But the commentator did not stop.
17. 0:36He began storytelling in his own way to
18. 0:38keep the viewers interested in the match
19. 0:40, and when the line came back to life
20. 0:42after 12 minutes, they finally learned
21. 0:44what had actually happened.
22. 0:47After that, this commentator tried to
23. 0:49become a movie star. He couldn't quite
24. 0:51make it in Hollywood. He had a
25. 0:53moderately successful career. But he
26. 0:55didn't leave any major mark on the movie
27. 0:57industry. After that, he became
28. 0:59interested in politics. He became the
29. 1:00Governor of California. He tried time
30. 1:02and again. He wanted to become the
31. 1:03President of the USA. But he always
32. 1:06failed, and the last time he tried, he
33. 1:09finally won. There was also an
34. 1:11assassination attempt on him where he
35. 1:12was shot six times. He miraculously
36. 1:14survived and was even re-elected for a
37. 1:16second term. I mean, this man fought his
38. 1:19entire life, and during his second
39. 1:21presidential term, a father named his
40. 1:24child after him, who went on to become
41. 1:26the world's biggest footballing
42. 1:28superstar. This man was Ronald Reagan,
43. 1:31and Cristiano Ronaldo was named after
44. 1:33him. Cristiano Ronaldo proved human
45. 1:36limitations wrong. So, what is Ronaldo's
46. 1:38legacy? Will Ronaldo's 1,000 goals be
47. 1:41his legacy? Will the most Champions
48. 1:42League goals be his legacy? The most
49. 1:44hat-tricks, or the three titles he
50. 1:46helped Portugal win, or his five Ballon
51. 1:47d'Ors? Will this be Ronaldo's legacy? I
52. 1:49don't think any of these achievements
53. 1:52will be Ronaldo's legacy.
54. 1:54Ronaldo's legacy is the impact he has
55. 1:56had on people's personal lives; perhaps
56. 1:58even he doesn't realize how many
57. 2:00millions of lives he has changed and
58. 2:03brought a positive transformation to.
59. 2:06When Mohammed Siraj defends 35 runs on
60. 2:09the final day at The Oval to win the
61. 2:11match for India, and he is asked first
62. 2:13thing what he was thinking today?
63. 2:17He says that he had Cristiano Ronaldo's
64. 2:19wallpaper set, which said 'Believe', and
65. 2:20he trusted himself that he could do this
66. 2:22and win the match for India.
67. 2:25This is the legacy of Cristiano Ronaldo
68. 2:26.
69. 2:27Not just as an excellent footballer, one
70. 2:29of the greatest of all time, but the way
71. 2:31Ronaldo has transcended sports to touch
72. 2:33the lives of millions.
73. 2:35Perhaps even he doesn't realize the
74. 2:37impact he is leaving behind.
75. 2:40Cristiano Ronaldo has bid farewell to
76. 2:42Portugal, and there are only a few days
77. 2:44left until we see him play club football
78. 2:46.
79. 2:47You all should consider yourselves very
80. 2:49fortunate to have witnessed almost the
81. 2:51entire career of Cristiano Ronaldo live
82. 2:53with your own eyes, and there is only
83. 2:55one thing we can say to him in the end.
84. 2:57Obrigado, Cris.
