The highest goal of life can be achieved as long as one`s body is stout and strong. We should therefore live in such a way that we keep ourselves always healthy and strong in mind and intelligence ,so that we can distinguish the goal of life from a life full of problems . A thoughtful man must act in this way , learning to distinguish right from wrong , and thus attain the goal of life.
