The Purpose of Life

Qualities regarding the character of an individual come first and morality is the foundation on which everything else rests upon. Thus one has to be wise and virtuous to have true and long-lasting success. This means that one must not only be able to distinguish right from wrong, but to actually do what is right and avoid what is wrong. One also should be gentle and not harsh, not hurt others with words, and be humble and agreeable.

Next come the essential qualities required for a successful working life. In earning a living or in business, no other quality can replace the readiness for hard work. Remaining steadfast despite trouble or problems, and maintaining one's integrity in times of difficulties are also vital elements. Being polite and well-mannered and keen to improve by learning new skills or methods are the other necessary qualities for success in business or at work.

Finally, individual should be open and friendly, and not aloof or proud. He or she should speak kindly, lead by good example, and be willing to share knowledge and experience with others. To lead others along the same path of accomplishment will bring complete and absolute success to any individual.
