2. Show gratitude/pray/devote to almighty and do your duty- Spirituality
3. Do something/s that will add value/contribute to other people's lives, and to World's nature,environments - Contribution
But most of us only pass our lives doing the 1st thing...in 3rd world countries we pass our lives struggling to make a living....in 1st world countries doing what we like to do....
