The life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception.
[3:185]

Ibn Kathir رحمه الله writes:
Therefore, Allah Alone is the Ever-Living Who never dies, while the Jinn, mankind and angels, including those who carry Allah’s Throne, shall die. The Irresistible One and Only, will alone remain for ever and ever, remaining Last, as He was the First.
_
Just a thought;
Regarding the second Ayah, Allah ﷻ starts it by mentioning death, and then ends it with the reminder of how short the Dunya is.
_
But the one who enters Jannah and is saved from Hellfire.
That is the ultimate victory.
_
Because no matter how many millions you have, how many cars or women.
كُلُّ مَنْ عَلَيْهَا فَانٍ
All that is on it [the earth] shall perish.
[55:26]
As Prophet ﷺ said “What is the example of this worldly life in comparison to the Hereafter other than one of you dipping his finger in the sea? Let him see what he brings forth.”
[Sahih Muslim 2858]
_
Rather the true success lies with the avoidance of the fire, and entrance into Jannah!
_
Think about these Ayaat!
This is the comparison, and the stark reality!
_
This Dunya is a piece of snow, melting in your hand as you try and keep hold of it,
While the shining jewel you have neglected; the Akhirah, that doesn’t perish, is waiting for you to just grab it with both hands!
_
By Allah! The Dunya is so short, that merely waiting for Qiyamah to start, on Hashr, the people will lament at how the Dunya felt like a morning!
_
It is so insignificant!
Reflect!
