Steve Jobs is purported to have said when he was dying…….

"I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others’ eyes, my life is the epitome of success. However, aside from work, I have little joy. In the end, wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to. At this moment, lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life, I realize that all the success, recognition, and wealth that I took so much pride in, have paled, and become meaningless in the face of impending death”.

If nothing else, 2020 should have taught us to realize that measure of success or happiness does not come from the material things of this world. Family, friends, good health, and Amazon next day shipping is all we really need.
