Regrets

...and regarding Jeff Atwood's decision to leave StackExchange, I think this link from SwissMiss says it all:

Top five regrets of the dying:

  1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

  2. I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.

  3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.

  4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.

  5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.
