This article neither asks that question nor answers it.
It just espouses a simplistic "Stick to your principals! Have a plan! Work hard! Spend your time wisely!" set of life values - which aren't bad in and of themselves but are pretty bland advice.
Personally, I won't measure my life because in order to do so it must be over, and I will at that point be dead.
I read this back in 2012. I thought some of the advice was suspect since it was faith based but overall a lot of the ideas are pretty good practices to undertake. They've served me well in the past few years. I think the idea of helping someone new everyday is a pretty good idea that is mutually beneficial to everyone involved.
For what it's worth, this article is from 2010. (How does one indicate that this should be added to the title? Does one do it through a comment like so, or is there a separate button to click somewhere?)
