" Life is a succession of lessons which may be lived to be understood "We are born to achieve something in life,in our journey to achieve our goals we encounter different experiences good and bad which are learning experiences but what is the purpose of our life? is to to learn and grow, to develop qualities like compassion,learn to love others all these teaches us as the ideal way as How to Live life OR We are just born to grow in life by competing with other's,learn to live just for ourself ?just concerned about learning only those aspects pertaining to our Indiviudal growth without any regards to our true purpose of life ?

This is some philosophy. And a good one.
Learning to live, living to learn. It is a paradox. And it is life.
But we actually first of all, live (we begin to do that after we are born.) Then we grow, then as we grow, we learn new things. When we are older, we learn new things, then we grow.
Life is an amazing philosophy in itself. A journey towards some goal, towards perfection. Funny, but in the end, the so called "wisest and richest man of all times" who is King Solomon, wrote, "Meaningless! meaningless! everything is meaningless." In the end, we'd all just die. But then, life is really about dying in style, and for me that would mean being immortal in the minds and hearts of the succeeding generation.
Did i make sense?

Yes we learn it all , the problem is most of people easy to give up ( me too ) so we didn,t see it as a learning process , but we see it as a disaster . in fact no mater what we learn it,s always pain so a lot of people lazy and never try again if they fail
example : when 1st time i go to gym and i train , all my body is cover with pain
can you imagine if we have x ray vision we can see that our muscle is break , force our body to get bigger and bigger
that,s why no pain no gain come out

As you said, which is true, Life is a succession of the lessons which teaches us many things in our life. The things which may appear very hard to learn may become very easy to learn tomorrow. Its just a matter of time to work out the things. Life makes us learn how to live in this world and makes us choose the paths to follow or take to reach our goals in this world.
