I had fame, financial security and a devoted family. I raced on. I needed more success. And one day it occurred to me how much I had missed! I thought of friends collected, and then neglected; of my library, full of books with uncut pages; of the first faltering steps of my little girls; of their tears I hadn’t the chance to wipe away; 3 of the bright sayings heard only from their mother over a phone; of the vacations promised to my wife and children. All these resulted from my mere vain pursuit of success. Ever since that drawing of truth, I have made it a point to pause now and again to enjoy the scenery.
