My goals for my daughter

I have the following five goals for my daughter listed in the same order

1) Never run out of ideas in life -> Gather as many life experiences as possible, read as many books as possible, try to make sense of as many things as possible in life. This will accumulate enough data for our machine learning brain to churn more ideas

2) Physical and Psychological well-being -> Learn and actually make a habit of living healthy. It should become your very being and most importantly Learn how to get up and run when you fall. This is the most critical quality in life

3) Art of decision making -> Life will make us stand at cross-roads so many number of times. Most of the times we do not know which way to go. Even if we choose a way, later on in life we may have side effects which means that we might feel bad that we could have chosen something else, then our life could have been better etc etc. Ability to choose a path without side effects is the most important quality

4) Be independent -> Ability to stay independent in all possible ways

5) Happiness all the time -> If we are able to achieve all of the above, then the last and the highest goal is to stay happy all the time. Happiness uninterrupted.
