The first two important things in my life are health and family. Without these, it's not so meaningful to live on earth. Without health we couldn't do things properly, and this including pursue of wealth. Without families, we will never feel the pleasure of sharing and living together. After these, the most important thing are money and friendship. Money is important but we shouldn't dying for it. Friendship is important, but they are not as precious as the family. You can have one thousand friends, but you can only have one family.

...Hi there cheongyc, If you think about it, if you are sick, you can't work. You can't pay for things that are needed if you are so sick you can't earn any money. So good health is extremely important in my opinion. We need someone to care about us and since we are are born into families, they would be our first source of love and support. Friends help you to have a good sense of self-esteem, as they validate you in a lot of ways. You make a lot of good points. Thanks so much for stopping by. Sorry for the delay in responding. Take care.

It's ok, and don't worry so much. Late is much better than never. I am glad that I got the response from you indeed.
That's the main point! It's good that we are having same opinion. As long as we are healthy we can still find a job to sustain our daily expense. Family is so important because we can only have them once. Of course money is important, but they are not as important as health and family. It's absolutely pointless to own a great wealth but not having the healthy body to enjoy it

Have nice day and happy mylotting!

The two most valuable things in my life are my spiritual relationship with God. My being member of the flock of the Church of Christ was the one and is the one i am taking care of. Second was my family..my committment to my family i want them to belong in the flock too. they are outside the church as for now.

...Hi worldbestwriter, You know, you just put me in touch with what I completely forgot in this discussion, I am ashamed to say. Our relationship with the Lord should be first and foremost in our lives, and I have not spoken about that until your response. Wow, what a blunder. Embarrassing. Shows you how we get caught up in earthy things. Thank you for your eye opening reply. Much success with getting your family in the Church with you. Take good care.

...Hi jd107nette, Without family to give us love and support, we would probably be lost. They are so essential in life, they are there for us when we need them, either good or bad times. You sound as though you had a very good upbringing, and you are aware of what is important in this life. Sorry to take so long getting back to you. Thanks very much for your input, take good care.

For obvious reasons I would have to say my health and my family. If I didn't have health I wouldn't be able to look after my family, they would be looking after me. I also chose my fmaily because they are an integral part of my life. My parents are the people who moulded me and my children and husband are the ones who give me a reason to be happy.

...Hi Beautyfactor, Your choices make very good sense. Others think the same way you and I do. Without your good health, you are unable to work to earn money, which you need to purchase those things necessary to survive. Also to pay for shelter and some means of transportation. Families give you love, comort and support in good times and bad times. They are there for you. It's all inter-connected, and very essential to our well being. Thank you for your response. Sorry for the delay in responding. Take care.

...Hi shivhae, Welcome to the ranch, it's a nice place to hang out and meet new friends, enjoy. It is hard, health and family are on par for me, but other things such as friends matter as well. Interesting, you have a pony collection, you stir my curiosity. Your list is varied and I appreciate you adding your thoughts to the discussion. Sorry to take so long in responding to you. Take care.

...Hi there charylady, You could include as many as you wanted too, but we wanted to know what your two main things were. Some things are on par with other things and we can't always decide which is ahead of the other. Me, I have a problem deciding if health or family would be my most valuable. You need your good health to pursue any thing in life, sickness is very much a weight on your progress in most respects. It is essential as you say, to live a quality life. Family is very important for love and support throughout life. Thank you for your reply, take good care. Sorry that I took so long to respond.

hi artistry..
this issue had been going on in my head for a long time..
the more i think, the more i realize that family came up first in this life,
i cannot imagine how would it be without my parents and sis at this time..
to me, they are everything .. :)
the other one, would be faith.. putting 'faith' after family, doesn't mean i don't trust or disrespect the Lord,
family and faith are equal to me, and both are in my number 1.. :)
it's just a matter of typing,hehee
anyway,thanks !

...Hi there unuzzz, Interesting that you have been deliberating this issue. I appreciate you taking the time to add your thoughts to the discussion. Family is so important in this world. When you see an adult who is responsible, has good moral values and is kind hearted to his or her fellow humans, I think you have to give credit to that person's family for doing a good job. If you don't have faith, you are traveling without strong belief, which we all need to go forward and achieve our goals. Your thoughts are good and your choices are excellent. Thanks for your input, take good care.

...Hi there 1anurag1, Hope you are doing well. You are quite correct, we all have many things in our lives that we count as very important. Family is one of the major things in our lives, we need nuturing, love and care. We do need a means of earning money because we have to have food, shelter and transprtation, all of which needs money to obtain. The other things you mention are all important as well. Friends are absolutely needed. Thanks for your response, take care .

Two things most important in my life are my credibility and my reputation. Other things are of secondary importance.

In Life everything is important but we segregate amongst very important and important.
It all depends upon the individuals style of life.And every one also has their choice depending upon their mentality and walk of life.
For me,I consider the first important thing as HEALTH. If health is alright then we can achieve anything.
Second MONEY -this is very important.Because we cannot pull on life without money.
On having good health we can earn good money and on earning good money we can lead a good life.....

...Hi there busybee, Love the name. Without good health we cannot do much to help ourselves. We can't work to earn any money to purchase the things we need in life to survive, if we don't have good health. Money is needed to buy food, get shelter, or have transportaion to get to work or elsewhere. I also think family and friends are important to most of us. Thanks so much for your input, you make very valid points, take care. Sorry to take so long in responding.

I think my family and money are the two most important things to me. My family because you need someone to love, spoil and be there for all the time, You also know that when you are down there is someone there to get your back, someone who will stand by you and take care of you no matter what.
Money because then I could give my loved ones all they wanted or asked for. I would be able to put a smile on their faces. If something happened to them, I know they wouldn't have to worry about not being able to pay for anything.
Health is important too especially when it concerns your loved ones. Anyone being sick adversely affects everyone around them.

...Hi Nessa, Welcome to the ranch, it's a great place yo meet new friends, enjoy.
Most of us place our families first, we need people who love and care about us and the reverse. Without money we are unable to take care of our needs, things have to be paid for in order to keep going in life. Health is very important as well, it all ties in together. Thanks so much for your reply, take good care.

Bravery and courage is just not absence of concern, but simply moving ahead while having self-respect irrespective of problem.
- Understanding is certainly discovering anything every single day. Intelligence is definitely to forget about one thing every day
-- Bravery and courage could be the capability to release all of the familiar
