Five Qualities of a Good Life

Aristotle guided early scientific thinking for most of the Western world. But he also offered what I think is a good pattern for a high quality life. Here is my summary:

Health - You are mortal, so take good care of your body.

Wealth - Money is a source of freedom; so earn enough for all of your needs, and be generous with the remainder.

Love - Experience it, give it; that is why you're here.

Knowledge - Understand the wonder of mankind, the world and beyond.

A Strong Moral Character - Be a light to guide others following you.
