We're all created for a purpose and until that purpose is fulfilled, you have not completed your assignment on the face of the earth. If after staying in a place, an establishment, etc and when you leave your absence was not felt then your presence was not felt, the simple meaning is that it your presence was not impact full .Jeff worked with a particular establishment for years and was doing well. He saw a need to switch to another establishment and tendered a resignation letter to the Director which was rejected simply because they felt nobody can replace him. In another case, a young man left a school where he was teaching and report made it clear that he was hardworking and his absence is seriously felt as it has caused so much damage already and none may be able to replace him. You can create a lasting legacy where you are. Within that short period of time you are there, be known for something good. Let them feel you are irreplaceable by your unique nature such that when you leave there they will cry.
Joseph in the Bible was such a person. I can imagine how the Israelites felt or should we better say weep when Joseph died because they knew he was a different breed. Wherever you are, let this be at the back of your mind that you must make an impact before you depart. Let them beg you to stay because of your value and worth, make them to value you. Present an irreplaceable self to people, but this can only come true if only you are steadfast and committed to doing your good works. Remember "Whatever thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might - Eccl. 9:10" and by so doing you'll succeed to make them cry.
