Aside from spirituality, I think the best a person can strive for in life (in their jobs, etc) is excellence in all their endeavors. If I'm going to do anything, it's my goal to do it well.
But there's more to life than even that. Money, power, sex, control... it's all empty in the end. We can only be truly satisfied by a real relationship with God. We're made with a hole in our hearts, a longing in our spirits, that can only be filled by Him. Without Him, we keep searching to fill that void, and even though we sometimes find temporary satisfaction in pleasurable things, the satisfaction always fades and leaves us emptier than we were before. So in the end, I think life is all about our relationship with God. If there's one thing we need, that's what it is. There are other things that are important, but nothing that is as important as this. Everything falls into place and life is fulfilling when we have Him. Everything seems meaningless and we are lost when we are without Him.
If anyone wants to know more about this, or is up for some good (and respectful) philosophical debate, feel free to email me. You can also check out the link below for more info.

Life is about money, power and not being brutal but loving. When u are rich definitely u will be powerful but u must show love to those around u so that u can enjoy ur life as well.

Money is good in good hands. Power too,
What price is necessary to get to the goal? A great fortune would not be worth the life of one starving child in this world. A great fortune needs to perpetuate itself, power too. The child is at the mercy of chance salvation.

power then money then women. if we achieve that basically we reach our potential thats the reason for life. everyone got different potential and running after different things thats why the society works with so many kinds of people.
being brutal is not good for anyone. being nice and powerful good.

Money. Can I include love in it as well? I don't need power or to be brutal. But I just need a reasonable pay job and I can support my lover and I.

I'll go for the money, I could careless about power or violence.
I wouldn't mind being admired, respected and looked up to though.

If you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart God has raised him from the dead you will be saved for with the mouth confession is made unto salvation and with the heart believing is made unto everlasting life.
