I suppose that a lot of reflection of how you're life has gone is gonna be determined by what you value and how you perceive it. I'm always of two minds about my own so called "acomplishments". On one hand, I am fairly well educated and have built some fairly nice things. I've tried to be a good father and a decent human being. On the other, everything I've built will be dust or junk in a hundred years or so and I wish I could have been a more attentive father. The decent human being part is always a work in progress. Sometimes I reflect and pat myself on the back, sometimes I am sad that I could have done better with the "gifts" I'd been given. One thing I hold to be true, and the most important, is to "never quit growing". When you stop being inquisitive or complacency is your norm, you're dead.
