What’s the one thing you wish you’d done differently before it was too late? I’m retiring next month and my biggest regret is that I didn't quit ten years ago. I’ve spent my life defending people who didn't care about me and arguing over money that wasn't mine, and for what? I have a nice house and a luxury car, but I don't have any real memories that don't involve a conference room.

Who gives a shit. Very few relationships in life can’t be repaired. Maybe you can’t tick off every single travel destination. But 20 or 30 years of appreciating things will offset the 30 or 40 years you weren’t.

Spent more time with my children instead of working so much. Now they are out of the house.
