About this Quote
This quote by Jim Balsillie encourages us to concentrate on what is truly important in life. He is recommending that we should pay attention to the important things that are long-term and real, rather than those that are fleeting and superficial. This might mean focusing on relationships, values, and experiences that will last, instead of material ownerships or short lived minutes. It could likewise mean focusing on our own thoughts and feelings, and understanding what is really important to us. By paying attention to what is irreversible and real, we can make certain that our lives are significant and fulfilling.
