What was it Eleanor Roosevelt said, when you are on your death bed, you will not regret not signing one more contract, not attending one more meeting, or not closing one more deal, instead, you will regret time not spent with a husband, a wife, a duaghter, a son, or a loved one. Surely you can find some way the two of you can go together...
