Simplified Meaning:
People often put a lot of effort into getting a good job, earning money, and building a career. They go to school, take training, and work hard to succeed in their profession. However, they might not spend as much time thinking about what makes them truly happy, like spending time with loved ones, enjoying hobbies, or finding personal fulfillment. For example, someone might work long hours at a stressful job, hoping to buy a big house or fancy car, but neglect their family and friends. In doing so, they might miss out on the joy and satisfaction that comes from meaningful relationships and experiences. To live a well-rounded life, it's important to balance work with activities and relationships that bring happiness and contentment.
