Focused on What's Important

"If people are highly successful in their professions they lose their sense. Sight goes. They have no time to look at pictures. Sound goes. They have no time to listen to music. Speech goes. They have no time for conversation. Humanity goes. Money making becomes so important that they must work by night as well as by day. Health goes. And so competitive do they become that they will not share their work with others though they have more than they can do themselves. What then remains of human being who has lost sight, sound and sense of proportion? Only a cripple in a cave."

Or perhaps a person in a cubicle?

(The quote is by Virginia Woolf.)
