Kindness and regret

Very interesting that the founder of Forbes Magazine would say the following. I would imagine that he knew quite a few millionaires in his day:

I've never known any human being, high or humble, who ever regretted, when nearing life's end, having done kindly deeds. But I have known more than one millionaire who became haunted by the realization that they had led selfish lives.

    Such wisdom in that statement. It should be posted on the wall of each corporation, especially those that demand so much time from their people that the family has to sacrifice.
