When I was in my 20s, I ran across a man who'd been a 'successful' salesman for 15 years. He made a special point to tell me how he regretted all the time he'd spent away from home and not being around to see his kids grow up.
We all have different ways of evaluating our satisfaction and what fulfills us. I'd rather fail at a difficult task than succeed at a simpler one... because the difficult one engages me, the simpler one bores me.
I'd rather take a walk in the woods than drive a Lamborghini. Rather read a good book than take an expensive trip to see yet another pile of rocks.

YMMV.
