>Sometimes I think that I might be one of the few people who will be on my deathbed, regretting not working harder.

The saying goes that on the deathbed no one regrets not spending more time in the office. I take that to mean "donating more of their time to some company", not spending time working/creating. That's how it will be with me. I'll wish that I wouldn't have had to waste so much time solving boring solved problems for money instead of doing the things I was interested in doing. Things that actually had a chance of a real impact, even if small.
