Here's a quote of the story
What got me thinking was this sentence
How hard is it to move along from something you built? Some of us in the forum are extremely focused and hardworking in our projects and goals. This can make it pretty hard to take a step back and decide its time to move a long or rethink our priorities.
Even if something this dramatic never happens and your work never kills you, I think you still risk getting to the end of your days and regreting some of the things you sacrificed.
I guess its hard to balance above average focus, dedication and passion with the capacity to leave things and move along when its time to do it
BELOIT, Wisconsin (AP) -- The 91st-richest man in the United States, a roofing company billionaire, has died after falling through his home garage's roof, local authorities said Friday.
Ken Hendricks, 66, was checking on construction Thursday night on the roof at his home in the town of Rock when he fell through, Rock County Sheriff's Department Cmdr. Troy Knudson said.

"It doesn't make any difference to me; I can't spend it," Hendricks said in an interview with Inc.com in September 2006. "I'd have to sell the company, and I'll sell the company over my dead body."
