Chapter one: What determines your priorities?
If you want to make good use of your time, you’ve got to know what’s most important and then give it all you’ve got. Lee Iacocca
As we consider our priorities, we need to understand that our priorities are what we ought to be doing.

Started a career, worked hard, took a mortgage and bought a house, worked hard to pay off the mortgage.
Started a family, worked hard to build a career and provide all the family needs

"I do not particularly like the word 'work.' Human beings are the only animals who have to
