A Very profound one liner which speaks its worth. So many times have we encountered situations where we need to focus on this statement. The purpose of this speech is to discuss its applications in our real life parameters.
Time: There is a very popular adage which goes like 'time and tide wait for none'! It is also said that time is a non-renewable resource. So either we use time or we loose it. Meaning that we should do whatever we want given the time that we have. Holds true for career, relationship, hobbies, self-improvement, etc. We should use our time wisely such that we do not have to repent in the climax of our lives. Realize and fulfill your dreams!
Money: Same goes for vitamin M i.e. Money. When we earn good amount of money, we should also know how to use it. Meaning that we should try to use it for the betterment of people who need it. We should also try to spend money on things that we want to do. At the same time, we should use the money to invest so that we have enough quota left when we retire. If we do not do all this and just try to hold money, we are infact loosing money eventhough we have it. Anything that is holded does not do any good, but whatever keeps flowing creates prosperity.
Opportunity: Same thing holds true for opportunity. Opportunity should be grabbed when it knocks our door else it will knock the next door. Great leaders have turned adversities into opportunities. We need to identify whatever comes along our way as an opportunity and keep ourself open to that.
Relationships: This is one of our most important assets as a social animal. We need to cherish the relationships and make the most out of them. If we cannot, then we are going to loose them. Relationships can be in the form of parents, spouse, kids, siblings, friends, etc. Every relationship gives us a lesson to learn which helps us to grow.
Instincts: At times when we do not know where to go and what to do, we rely on instincts. They are by and far last and the most important factor to resort to. We should try to listen to our instincts or we may slip off a good opportunity.
Last but not the least, use the company vacation. Else you will loose it:-)) (If you are in a company where vacation is not carried over)
Time for introspection...

Time: What you said is true. But satisfaction is subjective. For some earning more money is satisfying, for others it might be time spent with family. So it depends on individual preference.
Money: The money we earn is safely locked in the bank. What are we doing to people in need? I presume, nothing.
Opportunity: When do you the opportunity that knocks your door is a good one. You know it only when you do it!!!
Relationships: Very true.
