"あなたの人生の終わりに、一つのテストをもっと合格しなかったこと、一つの評決を勝ち取らなかったこと、一つの契約を締結しなかったことを後悔することは決してありません。夫、友達、子供、または親と一緒に過ごさなかった時間を後悔するでしょう。"

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.
