If you have five cards in your hand,they are love,health,happiness,honor and fortune.How would you arrange them in sequence(which is the most important,and the second is....)
I think health is the most important,the secongd is happiness,the third is love,thefourth is fuetune,the fifth is honor.
if you are not healthy,how you can get happiness?that's why I think health is the most important.I put honor in the last position,because I don't have ambition to get how much honor.maybe peoples will say that I have no ideal.but I think I can make my life ordinary but fulfilled.

Hey,
I would probably say that love would come first. Then would fortune for me, then happiness, then health, and lastly would come honor. I don't really want to feel honored, I am not that much type of a person. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

Here's how I would arrange my five cards. They would be love, happiness, health, honor and then fortune. If you don't have love in your life, the other four don't mean as much.

I see no reason to change the order in which you present them:
"Love, Health, Happiness, Honour, Fortune."
By 'Love', I would say that it is the giving of love (or the ability to do so) that is important. We can hope (or even expect) that others may love us but the important thing in the first place is that we should be able to love others. That is something over which we should have complete control. It is our responsibility to ourselves to learn how to love.
'Health' is something not everyone has (or perhaps I should say that very few people enjoy perfect health for all of their lives). 'Health', however, has a wider context than just physical or mental health in a medical sense. It also applies to our ability to know and accept what is right for both us and humanity as a whole. As with love, we have (or should have) responsibility for our own morality and honesty and we have a duty to our bodies and minds to treat them as well as we are able in order to be as healthy as possible.
'Happiness' I see as something that is mainly dependent on the attitudes we ourselves have. It is an emotion and an attitude that, really, nobody gives to us. It is something that we create for ourselves. If we are unhappy, it is because of a discord in our lives and only we, in the last evaluation, can really resolve that discord.
It is certainly possible to be happy even in the face of disability and severe health problems - I know many people whose happiness I frequently envy yet whose (physical) health I would not wish upon even my worst enemy. The secret, of course, is in being 'healthy' in spirit!
'Honour', like 'Love', has several meanings. If, by this word, you understand 'honour accorded to you by others', then you may be overlooking the fact that the only honour we get is really a reflection of the honour that we give (both to ourselves and to others). Honour is really about honesty and allowing others to have as much credence as we believe is due to us.
The Ten Commandments tell us to honour our father and mother; George Bernard Shaw said “You cannot believe in honor until you have achieved it, better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world” and Socrates said something almost identical: “The shortest and surest way to live with honor in the world is to be in reality what we would appear to be; all human virtues increase and strengthen themselves by the practice and experience of them.” In short, the honour that we desire from others can only truly be worthy if we first give others honour and honestly recognise our own value.
Perhaps, after all, 'Honour' should come before 'Happiness' in my order of things - I am not certain.
'Fortune' is really something over which we have no control. It is often equated with 'Wealth' but this is really the wrong meaning of the word in the context of the others. We can attribute certain events in our lives to 'good' or 'bad' fortune, meaning that some things (inevitably) happen to us that seem to be completely outside our control. It is true that random events do happen very often but it is really the way that we deal with them which can either turn them to our advantage or not, as the case may be. I was speaking to someone yesterday who told me that "Unfortunately, I was declared bankrupt but, really, that was the best thing that could have happened to me!" He went on to describe how the 'misfortune' of being bankrupt had actually given him a number of benefits (and some disadvantages) but, more importantly, had taught him that happiness and success in life was not dependent on wealth!
As you may see, the order in which I put these attributes is almost dependent on how much control we have over them. I may also have redefined them from the meanings which you originally thought that they had. I believe that the meanings I give are those intended by the anonymous originator of the quotation.

Happiness Once you become worried everything from our life goes off including health
Health Great Wealth. Basic requirement for a pleasant life.
Love To be happy and healthy we need love and care.
Honor Helps us not to choose the wrong path in fear of loosing honor
Fortune Required, but it would be better if it comes through hardwork and not through cheating

As for me, my priority would be:
1. Health, you cannot enjoy whatever blessinngs in your life if you're just lying on hospital bed, right
2. Love, love from my family and husband/boyfriend, and friends count too
3. Happiness, mean you can really realize your purpose of life and live a useful life
4. Honor, people's respect makes us capable to do anything ( in good terms of course).
5. Fortune, this is good to have it. But without it, with your hardworking, you still can achieve your goals.

First would be HONOR, because without that you have nothing.
Second would be LOVE for family and friends; to me that covers compassion and everything that goes with loving someone as God would want. This does not include me being in love with someone as a partner or husband. As I am meant to be alone for this life.
Third would be HEALTH, as I do not want to be any worse off than I am now.
Fourth would be HAPPINESS, because if I have the first three then I will have happiness.
Fifth will be fortune. I am poor in money terms and always will be and I am OK with that, due to being on disability in the USA means you will never have much.
God Bless

This would be my order:
- Health
- Happiness
- Love
- Fortune
- Honor
I put them in this order because I think Health is the most important, How can you be happy without health??? Next I put Happiness, you need to be healthy & happy. Then, Love. Love is important to me because I am in love, & it is very important to those of you who are in love & you would understand why. Then fortune. I put this here because I think Health, Happiness, Love, & fortune are the most important. Then Honor. I don't think honor is that important to me. I just want to be happy. You don't need to be honored necessarily in your lifetime, I don't think.

Ill have love the first in line, followed by happiness next by health, then honor and lastly fortune. When people love they experience tremendous happiness. So When your happy there will be less stressful energy in your body. The outcome for that will be healthy individual.Once the healthy person functions well hell get honor and for sure fortune will follow.

In order of my personal importance:
-- Honor
-- Fortune
-- Happiness
-- Love
-- Health
From inspecting this list, it would appear I have a small amount of value for love, which is not the case at all. This was certainly a difficult question to answer, so congratulations.
