“A man should spend the first third of his life learning as much as he can, the second third of life making as much money as he can and the last third giving it all away. The man who dies wealthy, dies disgraced.” -Andrew Carnegie
The late great golfer Bobby Jones said it best:
“You can only eat two eggs for breakfast. You can only wear one suit a day. You only need enough money to live well and be kind to your friends.”
Indeed — “life on earth” isn’t just some static thing, except to a fool. What is most important in it depends on the phase where one is.
