Also to do our best to keep up with our health, so we may live long enough to enjoy life outside of work. It's not all about the money or legacy.

Warning sign of a heart attack is a 300 pound belly.

Flamebait but a good lesson

Tell that to Douglas Adams.

It is all about the legacy, we are all going to die anyway, anything that does not leave a mark will likewise disappear.

You won't be there to enjoy your legacy. Prioritizing things you can and will enjoy is not a bad thing.

Ah right, YOLO! Different people, different points of view, all valid of course :)

I think it's about finding a balance. What's the point spending every day at work building your 'legacy', all them late nights etc. When you die everyone will remember your legacy but not you. No one will miss you. But what's the point spending every day at home with your family, creating great memories with them and dying with no legacy to show.

The first point shows hundreds, maybe thousands of people will see what you left behind, be it code, art work etc, but you wouldn't have time to socialise, build a family and be truly missed by loved ones. The second point, you don't have much of a legacy but your family, friends will truly miss you and remember you. So, yeah, try to have both, or just one. It's up to you.

+1 In sad/tragic times we often overlook the really important lessons to be learned.
