                                              At the top of the home page come three points of fundamental
                                                     significance to purposeful living;                                  
                                                                                                  
Be  calm  and  controlled
                                                                                                  Walk peaceful ways
                                                                                                  Find  peace
                                                                                                  Make  life  a  success      
                                  I can not state with  100%  certainty  that  these  three points  would   make a  person's  life
                          successful. But with about  90% confidence,  these three guidelines  can take a person to peaceful
                     and successful life. (Only about 90% certainty,  because, (1) life is popularly talked about as simple, complex,
               easy, difficult, hard, joyful, short, long, painful, purposeless and whatnot; (2) "life is too complicated not to be orderly",
            Martha Stewart; (3) "life is like a ten-speed bicycle. Most of us have gears we never use", Charles M. Schulz;  etc.).  See
         
quotations on life and living also.   


                                                                         Take the first guideline. A calm and controlled mind or 'state of mind'   
        is difficult to get, especially  for speeding, stressed, straining or  struggling persons.  A  person  'in-action' could always be
        'in-strain' to various levels. But he/she can be steady  and 'in-control' if the person has learned and experienced the works
            and activities.
So 'learning' and 'experience' bring in control and/or calmness. If a person is 'composed' in mind with
                    calmness, he/she is 'calm-posed' or peaceful, at least contextually.  Extending it further, if  all activities, all the
                           time, are carried out with sufficient learning and experience, then that person can be peaceful all
                                     the time.


                                                 WHAT  IS  LIFE'S  ULTIMATE  PURPOSE?  Is it not peace?
                                                                      To my thinking, if peace is achieved, not wealth, fame
                                                                            etc., life becomes a success. Pursuits of  wealth,
                                                                                     fame, happiness etc. can 'pave' the
                                                                                           roads to peace, if they are
                                                                                               carried out with honesty
                                                                                                       and relevant  
                                                                                                             values.
