The purpose of life is to live it working as long and hard as you can, throwing your wife and kids to the wayside in order that you can accomplish your career and monetary dreams.
If they express their disappointment, respond by telling them you’re the leader of the house and what you say is the law. Period.
Remember, by age 30 you must live in a mansion, have a Tahoe to drive around, a closet full of designer clothes, and a head full of the newest “crap” from modern age gurus.
The above can be switched out equally with those who think a masters degree, MBA, JD, etc are the answers to their happiness and monetary problems.
Yeahhhhhh right!
The purpose of life is simple and takes only one sentence to explain: the purpose of life is to live everyday doing good. Help others. Be nice to others. Love your family. Love your friends. Love your neighbor as you love yourself.
