Spot on, I've told coworkers this exact thing in the past when they've been so stressed they're close to crying and shaking. No sane person was ever lying there in their final moments wishing they had worked more.

Life goals

Dear young people entering the work force: your extra efforts will be rewarded with extra work. You won't be paid more or experience progress going this way; you'll be Sisyphus. If you work enough on networking and making the right friends, you might climb the ladder, but it will be at the expense of wife and kids, if you have those. Only a select few can have it all. Remember to focus on the important things while you can.

Do the math. Getting a pay increase on par with inflation is not a pay increase, it's to keep your pay the same on paper. It's required in many countries, so it's not due to the employers' benevolence. Add to that the soaring transport costs to get to the office, the food prices going up, energy prices, interest rates, rent, fuel etc. You'll hopefully see that most people aren't getting raises, they're losing money every year. At the same time, their teams are being downsized or partly outsourced due to the aforementioned price increases, and the ones who are left have to pick up the slack. Corporations and their owners, however, are doing better than ever.

Apply that same principle to people like Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Adolf Eichmann. The reason normal people get worried about people in power today is because they were taught about the crimes and twisted ideologies that started WWII and the Holocaust. Burying it and pretending they never existed will give people like that the opportunity to rise again, such as our recently tracheotomised center of attention in this post.
