Deep dives

Don't be all about business

Putting work above all else, neglecting family and personal interests, is detrimental. Marcus Aurelius serves as an example, realizing that making work the center of one's life ultimately leads to a lack of fulfillment and a strained relationship with children. The emperors who came before him were quickly forgotten, emphasizing that work achievements have limited significance. The true legacy lies in being present for one's children and prioritizing their well-being, as demonstrated by figures like Archie Manning, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and De Gaulle.
