What is the most important question? I would say that the most important question is, "How can one do his or her best?" I am determined to understand and do what it takes to, as Oprah would put it, "Live my best life." Everyone has a sense of good and bad. This is unique to how a person thinks and relates to the world around them. I consider efforts that promote peace, understanding, and health to be good. I would consider anything that threatens these things to be negative.

Adults in families and communities decide what is best for children. As children grow up, this is something that they become more entitled to decide. Depending on where one is in life, the classifications of good, better, and best are relative to how one feels as a result of changeable personal attitudes. Those who are parents, guardians, and anyone in positions of authority are influential to whomever look to them. People can be considered examples or role models as they do their best in fufilling these roles.

The will needed to make the best effort possible is found in many ways, sometimes through inspiration or curiousity. When people learn and grow it becomes easier to evaluate success and failure. Both of which can be a possible outcome of one doing his or her best. Competitions are a universal way to determine who is the best in a given situation involving judges and set standards. Such challenges can be fun and sometimes fierce, but the person competing will be the judge in deciding whether he or she did their best. Touche' !

Everyone is a part of this world, living and working together to advance the human race. Humankind is positively challenged when it strives to try and find out, "How can I do the best I can?" As long as the question is asked and the effort is made to answer it, life is given meaningful productivity. Challenges are sought to have success and overcome failure. When one is making an effort to do his or her best while choosing the opportunites to find this out, goals are set. A realization of who he or she is becomes clear, and a sense of purpose is established. One person's goal can be beneficial the world over. Life is so much better with the best of such things as transportation, food, and medicine. The inventions of the car, vaccines, and the concept of liberty are some of the best ideas ever.
