A 'good' life means different things to people. To people with religious beliefs, I think it is to live following the guidance their religion gives, and to live an honest living so that they can go to their promised land/heaven/etc. For me it means to 1) be happy with what you have 2) try your hardest 3) and to make yourself and others surrounding you happy. I think trying your best would be the most important out of the three. Although it would be nice if you succeded, but you can't always succeed. Even if you don't, if you tried your best in whatever you were doing, you know that you have something to be proud of. You can go ahead and say 'At least I gave it my best try'. To have lived a good life, it should have been happy. As I see it, I think there's no point if you did everything right and was the best in everything if you weren't happy. To be happy you have to do something you like doing, something you enjoy. Once you yourself is quite happy with what you do, you should try to make others around you joyful; you cannot live and survive in the world alone. Happiness with others double the joy.
Hyo Jin, well said! You see living a good life not only in relation to your needs, but the needs of others as well!
