Here’s the philosophical question of the day: When you’re on your deathbed, what would you want to have done?
How would you want people to remember you? What kind of legacy do you want to leave in your wake?
It’s different for everybody, I’m sure. But the one thing we don’t want, I’m assuming, is regrets. No one wants to kick it before resolving any unfinished business, am I right?
