I would estimate that the number of people who regret NOT being more aggressive (intel, confronting, exposure, financial/legal) out-number those that wish they had been LESS aggressive, 20-to-1.
This to me is like coaching, my players mostly grumble and resist when they get pushed past their perceived limits. But I have never had one thank me for being too soft on them. We are capable of so much more than we can imagine.
Yeah, I've also heard it said that "No one lays on their death bed, and expresses regret at #1, spending too much time at HOME (as opposed to the office); and #2, at taking TOO MUCH risk in their life."
