This article from Zeneca today really hit me. It’s good to take a break away from screens and start to value life more. “You can’t take money to the grave. You can’t take anything to the grave.

I want to reiterate this point from Zeneca’s article this time.
“You can’t take money to the grave. You can’t take anything to the grave. So, perhaps, stop living as though you can. This does not mean money is bad, or evil, or that we shouldn’t pursue it; but it does mean that it is secondary to time.”
