I am not very religious, but I think it is important. The most important thing to me is my relationships. I know I couldn't survive with my family supporting me or just being there. My friends too. Without them, I don't know what I would do. Maybe just live my life, but I wouldn't be this happy or know anything as great as being with my family and friends.

Yes, family and friends. In China relativeship is very important. In the past we often lived together. Only now the younger leave their family for good jobs. And we will stay together with family in Chinese traditional festivals. We are from big family and work for it and then build a small new family. One generation by one. And friendship is also important. There is one word "more friends more pathway"

My family and the people who I love have always been the most important things in my life. I can replace *things*, find other jobs...but I can't replace any one of the smiling faces that light up my life. Tonight my 2 year old grandson sat on Santa's lap and he wasn't scared...he was thrilled! He couldn't stop talking about it. You can't put a price tag on moments like that.

For me the most important things in life are my people, my family, moral values. Also knowledge to judge between good and bad is the most important thing in life. love friendship all these also are important things in life. Giving importance to each and every thing in life is based on our interest on them and the way we look at every thing in our life.

The most important things in my life are my friends and family. I have a husband, a son and a stepdaughter. Them and my parents are my most imporant family. I make sure to keep my friends close to my heart as well. I find it very important to keep friends in my life just as close as my family members. I love my husband, but there are some joys my friends can fulfill that my husband cannot. I can't really explain it though. Everything else in life is just material things, in other words, replacable. These important people in my life are not. I don't know what I would do without them. They have supported me in all my decisions, and I can turn to them if I need advice or someone to lean on.

hi TallGeese3! for me, the most important part of my life is "living life itself." we all know that life nowadays means having to do a set of activities in order to survive. as a kid, we need to study hard so that we can find work easily when we're adults. as adults, we need spend up to 12 hours a day for work-related stuff (preparing for work, commuting, working, commuting home). these activities eat up so much precious time for actual living. for me, my ultimate goal in life is to be able to live life in a relaxing way without having to worry about the source of my money. right now, i'm working hard on studying how to trade stocks when (or IF) the stock markets stabilise, along with the global economy. once i am able to trade stocks well, i'll be able to have a consistent source of income in just a few short hours per day. that way, i can live my life to the fullest. living life to the fullest means enjoying whatever i wish to do (as long as it's moral and ethical), return the gratitude to my parents who raised me and provided me with good education and upbringing, and even to help others in need.
