Richest man in the Cemetery

"I saw no point in being the richest man in the cemetery."

Peter Drucker, "Managing Oneself", Harvard Business Review - Best of HBR 199, P.11, Par. 2

This quote sort of came at me poignantly about the empty chases so many are after. Something so obvious yet we are so blinded. Having to counsel more men lately, filled with regrets in the way they had lived their lives, it is best to heed what Jesus Himself had said, which Drucker rephrased in the above quote:

Matthew 16:26 (NIV)

[26] What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?

Steven Covey said it in another way in First Things First, title of chapter one:

"How many people on their deathbed wish they’d spent more time at the office?"
