9. Yes
We all want different things out of life.

If you have most of what you want (within reason of course, wanting to take over the world like Pinky and the Brain will win you no points), you can be fulfilled. Just don't kowtow to what other people tell you you SHOULD want*. Only you know what will make you happy and if you get that or get close to it, you will be happy. If you lie to yourself about what you want, you will be miserable. If you let other people make choices for you, you will be miserable.

The question above is ridiculous, but I gave it a serious answer. Sometimes you have to beat people over the head with the fact that all of us are individuals and we all want different things our of life.

*I'm only talking about important things that will affect a lifetime. Not minor things like eating out tonight at a Chinese place or an Italian place or fast food.
