I found the story really interesting. It's tough because you don't always recognize which opportunities lead you to great things, and which are dead ends. Only in hindsight can you see it.

Though for this guy, I'm not sure it would have made much difference. He turned down a great offer arrogantly without even considering it, then proceeded to go on a drinking binge and blame others for his problems. This isn't really the mentality and behavior of successful people.
