"À la fin de votre vie, vous ne regretterez jamais de ne pas avoir passé un test de plus, de ne pas avoir gagné un verdict de plus, ou de ne pas avoir conclu une affaire de plus. Vous regretterez le temps non passé avec un mari, un ami, un enfant, ou un par"

Simplified Meaning:
When people look back on their lives, what really matters to them is the time they spent with loved ones, not their work achievements. For example, consider a busy lawyer who wins many cases but has no time for family. Later in life, that lawyer won’t miss the extra victories but will wish for more moments with their spouse and kids. Jobs and tests are temporary, but relationships and memories with close ones stay important forever. Spending time with people you care about brings happiness and fulfillment that work alone cannot provide. Applying this idea means making an effort to balance work and personal life, ensuring you give enough attention to friends and family.
