The most important thing in life is based upon time.
Different people have different attitudes. These attitudes makes people some things important and some things unimportant.
For the man who loves his wife, ''wife'' can be most important thing to him
For the pople who aims to attain ''moksha'', the practise is important.
For the lovers, their marriage is important
For the idle student, studies are important
I think now, you can understand what things important to people.
it is the personal matter of a person and no person wants to share it in public

Love, and that is love with your significant other that gives you the very reason to wake up in gratitude that she is beside you each and every day. Back in Chengdu, China where I am from, many men go without finding love because the wealthy men from Hong Kong and Taiwan come and take them away.
Thankfully I became a Canadian citizen, and while I am now a foreigner in China, I was able to get a beautiful wife from Xiamen to take back to Vancouver.

WILLIAM JAMES SAYS, "THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE IS TO LIVE YOUR LIFE FOR SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR LIFE."
What William James is saying has been said for thousands of years, by almost all the politicians, all the priests -- and you can see the result of such a teaching.
What does it mean, that you should live for something higher than life? Is there anything higher than life?
Some religions say God is higher than life. Other religions say liberation, salvation is higher than life. Politicians say the nation is higher than life -- ideologies, like communism, are higher than life. All these people are agreed on one point, that you have to sacrifice your life for something. It looks like a beautiful statement, but it hides a very ugly reality.
In thousands of ways the same thing is repeated. The child is told he should live for the parents.... Nobody seems to realize a simple fact, that there is nothing higher than life, cannot be. And if there is anything higher than life it is bound to be dead; otherwise, how can it be higher than life?
But man has been manipulated to sacrifice himself, either for ideas or for ideals. And to sacrifice your life for something else means you stop living, you start committing suicide. You start murdering yourself so slowly that you don't become aware of it. But every man who has sacrificed his life for any goal, realizes at the moment of death that he missed the train, that he has been a fool.
"Always sacrifice. Don't live, don't enjoy. Today has to be sacrificed for tomorrow." And tomorrow never comes, it is always today. And every today has to be sacrificed for tomorrow, which is not going to come -- has never come.
No, I cannot agree with William James. He is talking junk. He is simply paraphrasing all vested interests, because they don't want you to live, they want to use you.
Nations want to use you for war. Naturally, the politicians are bound to say, "The nation is far bigger than you, and you should not be selfish. You should be ready to sacrifice your life for the nation" -- not only for the nation, but a piece of cloth they call the flag. You have to die for it!
Intelligent people have been conditioned for such a foolish thing, and they have been doing it for thousands of years. What is the attainment? What have we achieved by sacrificing?
A very cunning strategy not to allow you to live.... But it cannot be said directly, because then you will not follow it. It has to be made sweet-sounding, tasteful. Thinking of the future -- when you will not be here, sacrificing for things which never materialize...
The people who took part in the revolution in Russia in 1917 had sacrificed everything for the revolution because it was to bring a classless society, a society where nobody would be higher than anybody else, a society of freedom. Those poor people are in their graves.
We used to think of the Dark Ages -- they have not passed, they still exist around the earth.
But the people who had sacrificed were not intentionally creating a country of slaves; they were thinking riches would be distributed. But before distributing riches you have to have them. Russia was a poor country. In a poor country if one percent of the people are rich, you can distribute their wealth but nobody will become richer by that. So in fact what has happened is, poverty has been equally distributed. Yes, it gives a certain consolation that nobody is richer than you, everybody is just like you.
But the people who had sacrificed could not live their life. And the ideals for which they had sacrificed have not materialized.
Live your today as fully as possible.
From where is your tomorrow going to be born? It is in the womb of today.
It is going to come from your life that you have lived today. There is no need to worry about it, it will be taken care of.
By your living in the present without sacrificing a single moment for any ideal, all the ideals that have haunted human imagination can be fulfilled -- not by sacrifice, but by living as deeply, as fully as possible.
If all people on the earth live joyously today -- singing, dancing, praising the beauty of life and being grateful to existence -- can tomorrow be different? It will be better. You will have become more alert to the beauty of living in the present. Perhaps today you were a little reluctant, you went a few steps, but tomorrow you will have more confidence to go farther and farther.

Everything in my life is most important.
Nothing in my life is most important.
This sentence is false.

My imagination. Imagination leads to art, and art is that which liberates me from the limitations of the material world.
