“When it came to the rest of his life, Sam Walton wasn’t nearly as dedicated. He was never really ‘there’ as a father, husband & friend.

2. I wish I hadn’t worked so hard 3.  I wish I’d had the courage to express my

feelings 4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my

friends 5. I wish that I had let myself be happier
