Quote: However, apart from work, I have little joy. Finally, my wealth is simply a fact to which I am accustomed.
At this time, lying on the hospital bed and remembering all my life, I realize that all the accolades and riches of which I was once so proud, have become insignificant with my imminent death.
That is truly sad when you think about it, that thru all his success/wealth, aside from work, he had little joy in his life.
Guess that does prove that money cannot always buy happiness, not the kind that is attached to love, as he speaks about.
Quote:No, stop pursuing wealth, it can only make a person into a twisted being, just like me.
Wow, talk about some advise for those who wish to be like him
Quote:But one thing you can never find when you lose: life.
Whatever stage of life where we are right now, at the end we will have to face the day when the curtain falls.
Funny, I learned that years ago when I was only 14 and lost my Dad.
The one 'game' in life that you can never win at.......Death
It's a shame it took him dying to realize this, but at least he did acknowledge it at the end, albeit a little too late.
Think once people get to a point of being very wealthy and powerful, they feel invincible/untouchable
Except only in the end, when it gets down to the bottom line, they are just ordinary people when it comes to Death/dying
I do like his words that he spoke
Sounds like that if he could do things over, he would have picked a different path in life than the one he took
