It is the same old tale. Young man is ambitious and devotes all his effort into creating his success. Young man neglects the people around him. Young man regrets and lament about it, after he has achieved his success.
As much as most people will not disagree with WB's 'ultimate test,' few youths actually live their life making that a priority.
I would like to say it is probably "old man regrets" rather than "young man regrets".

I like to talk to older people and understand their regrets and some time ago, i realized actually WB is no different from those around me that i have talked to. There is always a common theme for most.
I would also like to argue that there is a whole ton of people living their life making WB's ultimate test a priority. They are just under the radar as they don't appear much on media (even social media) - they just carry on with life as it is.
@dreamybear, if you are actually clueless what me and karlmarx is talking about, you could probably take time to watch the "Becoming WB" documentary in the VB thread that aired 2 years ago (if you haven't). The clue is to read behind the lines when they interview Susie Buffett (WB's daughter)
