The Life Philosophy of James Bond

Daniel Craig as James Bond 007 in his final moments in No Time To Die
"The function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time." -Jack London
This quote by Jack London is cited in No Time To Die, the 2021 James Bond film. It is cited after James Bond has died.
The quote is Bond's life philosophy in a nutshell. It's made even more poignant by the fact that James is a 00. He acknowledges in the 2006 James Bond movie Casino Royale that 00 agents have a short life expectancy. Also, James Bond is a man who has many enemies. Knowing full well that his life could be shorter than most people's, he strives to make the most out of everything in life.
His life philosophy is one worth adopting.
