Why happiness should be your business model
“He had the wealthiest pockets,
but the poorest soul. And in
those last minutes of his life, he
realised where he had failed.”
TOP 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
