Charity

In the New Testament, Paul teaches one of the most important virtues to have in life is charity. He says, "And though I... understand all mysteries, and all knowledge... and have not charity, I am nothing" (1 Corinthians 13:2). So easily do people get wrapped up in their own pursuits and their own dreams that they forget others around them. The accomplishments you make in your career or other pursuits, though important, will eventually fade away, but the people you helped will always remember what you did for them. And in the end, the people's lives that you touched will mean much more to you than anything else you did in your life.
