Cool thing is, they take their metric for success from you.

But you sound like you're measuring success by your role in the workplace. I'll bet they care a lot more about your role as a father.

Yes. And for me, to be successful is to be happy with what I do for a living, and to have the freedom to pursue my dreams. Selfishly, I rather be a mediocre father and successful/happy with my career/lifelong work vs a great father and a mediocre career. We all pick our own paths. No regrets so far.
