Prosperity

I believe the goal in every living person's life is to achieve prosperity, in whatever way, shape, or form that may be. Usually when I think of prosperity I think of material wealth and being financially comfortable, but prosperity can apply to any number of things depending on the individual's perception, or whatever goal they can reach to fulfill their happiness. One person's prosperity could mean money another' s idea of prosperity could be being fruitfull and having children.
How does one acheive this end, by whatever means necessary I suppose, whatever it takes to fulfill that goal which drives our life. There doesn't seem as if there would be any one way for all people to follow to allow them to acheive their ends. I'm not going to say something silly, like: be moral and you will be prosperous. If you are talking about human goals morality doesn't seem necessary in order to achieve such goals, though for some people it might be important. The only thing I can advise is: Do what you can with the time that you have, that is all anyone can really do, and you can die fulfilled.

I can't really support this, I could give evidence of my own life goals (idea of prosperity) which is to have a good job with a comfortable income, find someone who loves me, and have a family. Really ambitious, right? But that's all I think I need to be happy and fulfilled at the end of my life.
This is where I stand, but I feel as if I really haven't answered the questions as they appear in the syllabus, but I've said all that I had to say. Maybe some new insight will come later.
