Based on the above information on regrets, I really did not have very many regrets living my life. Almost all the decisions that I made, I would make again if I had the same information in front of me. As you get older, you start seeing all kinds of information that you did not have at the time that you made the decision that gives you the ability to be a Monday morning quarterback. The whole purpose of the book and or the ethical will is to try to provide this perspective and information to my kids and grandkids and great-grandkids so that they could have the information at the time that they make the decision.

In the book

The trouble is that the facts only arrive later, when it's too late to use them. The whole purpose of this book is to put some of that information in your hands before you decide, instead of after. As I look back, I see lessons that may be useful to a next generation that will face its own expected and unexpected challenges; my consuming passion for many years has simply been the care of my children and grandchildren, and most of what I learned, I learned chasing that. — Before Takeoff (front matter)
