In Latin, there is a phrase used to describe an artist's or an individuals greatest achievement. This phrase (and the title of this post) is known as Magnum Opus. Francis Bacon has the Instauratio Magna. Dan Brown has his Da Vinci Code. J.K. Rowling has the illustrious Harry Potter series. This year, Julian Easterly has finished his first of the new decade. When I die, I'm not sure if I'll be remembered for a Magnum Opus, but I can account for the pleasure of myself and others in the now.
