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:
- I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
- I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.
- I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
- I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
- I wish that I had let myself be happier.
