at that point

when you die -

would you prefer to be very successful, but to have some regrets about some things you were unable to achieve?

or, would you want to be unachieving (relatively speaking, by normal standards), but content and spiritually fulfilled?

spiritual fulfilment is usually linked with the acceptance of fate, whereas that goes against our desire and ambition to do our best and to exceed our limits. one achieves "big" things by having great expectations and going for them. where exactly is the happy medium?
