TIME SPENT
Paul Tsongas was a young and rising member of the U. S. Senate. Learning he had cancer made him reevaluate the time he had been spending with his wife and children, compared with the time he spent at work. After spending a rare evening at home with them, he realized that with the schedule he was keeping, the next night like this he would have would be several years in the future. After this sobering realization, he made this observation: “Nobody on his deathbed ever said, ‘I wish I had spent more time on my job.'”
