What's the most important thing in your life?
I've asked this question hundreds of times during my career as a journalist and certain responses tend to come up more often than others.
You probably could guess what the most common reply was - my spouse (and other variations such as significant other or soulmate.)
It's followed by family, staying healthy, being Wealthy, Power, Status, and Being Happy.
After that the responses got a bit more interesting.
"Being famous."
"Being stronger than everyone else."
"Having a child."
"My cat."
"My dog."
"Seeing Madonna before I die."
"Going to Europe someday."
"Finding the Meaning of Life."
"Leaving behind a legacy of love."
and so forth...

Carp Diem means "seize the day" in Latin. It's probably the most popular Latin phrase of modern times. And don't forget the Carpe Noctem variation which literally translates to 'seize the night."
