David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH)

Just know the order of priority.

If you are blessed with

a partner that you love, some children that you adore, you've already won the greatest prize that most humans are able to achieve.

Most humans in this world, if they are of marital age and they have children, if you ask them what's the most important thing, they would all say that.

They would all say that.

No matter whether they're rich or poor.

It's easy to lose sight of that when you're chasing the second best things.

Because do you know what?

They're also very nice.

I really liked that Pagani Sonda.

It was a very expensive car and I would have had no chance of acquiring it if I hadn't become rather successful in business.

So I don't want to dismiss it either.

It's great fun to have money.

It's just...

not as fun for quite as long or as deep as you think it is.

And these are the things, having an occupation and a pursuit that you enjoy, being able to carry burdens with a stiff upper lip and with, again, a sense of meaning is incredible.

To have family, to have friends, to have hobbies, to have all these things that are actually available

to most people around the world, that's winning.

And it doesn't mean you have to discount your ambitions.

It doesn't mean you can't reach for more.
