In my opinion, the most challenging question in life is discovering its true purpose, as life is a precious gift from God. Understanding our purpose early on makes us fortunate. This realization completes 40% of our journey, and the remaining 60% depends on our hard work, resilience in adversity, passion for work without expecting outcomes, and perseverance. With these qualities, I believe we'll receive God's blessings on our path to our ultimate destiny.
