A New Perspective - Priorities Are Clear. A life threatening illness with uncertain time frames causes the question to be asked for real. Your life and its length are uncertain, you may not live to be old. For me the answer was yes. Quality becomes important in all areas.

Quitting a job might be a good move for some, but for me work feels like a worthwhile contribution to the world. I would love to be independently wealthy and work less, but I would still want to do something useful. My children are very important to me. I want to give them my knowledge as best I can. I also want to be a role model of which they can be proud.
