These three things are always what we want, which one is the most important to you? If you need to rate them into 1, 2, 3. How will you do? Personally, I think family is the most important thing to me, I would make it: 1.Family 2.Career 3.Friend I don't mean friends are not important to me but if I have career, I could make money and support my family, make them not to worry about living. What about you? What is your idea?

Thats hard to answer and i give equal importance to Family and career as if we are in good position everyone in the family gives you good respect and if we don't wasting time it doesn't look good actually.After that i love my friends and also my lovedone which i have to include..keep smiling dear...

Three things are interdependent on each other. But why we are doing work? It's all for our family and their living. Note that friend is another important discussion because even family can left you but a true friend always with you wherever you go! My preference is for family and then friend and finally my career. You can lose one career and gain another but friends and family one you lose will never be gained back!!!.

I look at it the other way, friends can leave you but family never leave you behind. I would like to have only career to be a back support for my family than having friends, maybe because a friend betrayed me really poorly before so I have a shadow...

Friend who betrayed you is not really a friend. He is a cheater. I am speaking about the true friends not anyone else!

Hi I totally agree with ur thinking and rating...This was appropriate rating that family is most important then carrier then friends..Friends are very important in life but money is more important and for whom we are earning that is more important...and on that catagory family comes first..sometime we think that we must have some time with our friends..but it remains for short term after that it vanish ..and the only thing that comes always in front of us is family and our carrier

Hm...this will be a hard choice to make. These three things are all important in our life. I guess most people will choose to put family first, career then friends. I'll have the same choice as yours. Family members are the only people we can truly trust and rely on. They're the closest people to us. So, there's no doubt i've to put it on the first place. Then, i think friends and career are equally important for me. If i have the choice, i'll put them in the same level,haha. Although career is the thing that where the income and living comes from, but thinking from another perspective, no man is an island. We need friends too and our close or best friends will always be the best help whenevr we've problem or need help, and friends are those who'll accompany us in good and bad times. So, for me i can't really make the choice between that career and friends.

God morning mermaidivy, Family, Friend and career is my list?. Family always comes first. They are the important item in my life. That is my kids. I love my kids, and they make me so proud of them with all the things they do. Friends are people that help you in need. Career, well, it do not matter to me. I am fullfilled with a god job that gives me what I need. Career is for those who want to be in the spotlight. I like to stay home with my family after working hours, I like to spend time with god friends from time to time...being in the spotligt is not for me.

I would totally agree with you. Family will be my priority. From young until now, my family gives me support non stop. So I will very appreciate my family. For the 2nd, as you said career, this is important for me to reply my family's supportive.

For me it's just between career and family.. It's career first then my family. I need to have a job to support them. I cannot choose my family first not that they're less important but I'm just being practical. I can choose my family over a job but without food on the table, I don't like to see them starving. With regards to my friends, for me I don't have to choose them. My friends are my friends and they are always around but they're not included in my personal life and my decisions.

I agree with with those 3 of aim. But if it's me, i would like switch between your number 2 to 3... Just think of it... Before you get your career, what do you have after your family since the last time you where graduated from high school. Have a nice day mermaidivy.

personally i would choose family first, they will always be with me no matter what and no matter where, second is career for without it where will we get the money to pay for what we need, bills, or whatever we want. third will be friends... i have had many of them, but only 1 i can really depend on. most of the friends i knew who i thought were friends are not really. and a few of them back stab us.

My rating is the same as yours. Family will be my first priority. Then comes the career as we all need to work to earn money and support for our living. Friends will be on the 3rd spot as we all need friends in our lives. As the saying goes, no man is an island.

As per me all three think are most importance in our life. we can not chose any one of them. Yes definably we can give priory to them. I can give career is most because you have to set a respectable environment in your family just like Ideal to your brother,son etc.......... Second one is family as your parent is really love you & you are most valuable person other than anyone in the worlds that's matter

The three are all important in our life, but for me i will put the following in this order: 1. Family 2. Career 3. Friend Family should be in the number 1 because they are our treasure, they are our inspiration to do good in our chosen career. Career varies on the motivation of the person and one good way to get the motivation you want to excel in your career is to make your family as the main inspiration. Friends are last one mainly because not all person depend on circle friends, they are just there when you need companion and comfort which your own family cannot give to you.

On the top of my list would of course, my family. Second, my career, then friends come third. My family is the most important part of my life. I cannot live without them. They are the reason why i am working so hard. My family is included in all my dreams.
