[Avodah] future impact of deeds

[Rich, Joel via Avodah]

In one of his shiurim, R'Reisman questioned a common (my) understanding
of how those who are no longer with us could be judged based on the
future impact of their deeds on an ongoing basis. The specific example
was two individuals (A & B) separately caused two other individuals (C &
D, who were totally equivalent) to become religious. C dies a day later,
while D lives a long, productive, and fruitful life. Does it make sense
that A gets more credit(schar) than B?

My answer is no, but this does not refute the basic premise. The schar
is based on the % of their potential that C & D actualized-only HKB"H
knows that, so, in this case in fact, A might even get more credit than B.

So, if you are C or D, you still must work hard to actualize all your
potential to maximize A's or B's reward (as in when a child says kaddish,
etc.) Thoughts?
