Disclaimer: I came across the following points recently and I felt it's worth sharing.
Fifteen Things God Won’t Ask
1. God won’t ask what kind of car you drove, but will ask how many people you drove who
didn’t have transportation.
2. God won’t ask the square footage of your house, but will ask how many people you welcomed into your home.
3. God won’t ask about the fancy clothes you had in your closet, but will ask how many of those clothes helped the needy.
4. God won’t ask about your social status, but will ask what kind of class you displayed.
5. God won’t ask how many material possessions you had, but will ask if they dictated your life.
6. God won’t ask what your highest salary was, but will ask if you compromised your character to obtain that salary.
7. God won’t ask how much overtime you worked, but will ask if you worked overtime for your family and loved ones.
8. God won’t ask how many promotions you received, but will ask how you promoted others.
9. God won’t ask what your job title was, but will ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability.
10. God won’t ask what you did to help yourself, but will ask what you did to help others.
11. God won’t ask how many friends you had, but will ask how many people to whom you were a true friend.
12. God won’t ask what you did to protect your rights, but will ask what you did to protect the rights of others.
13. God won’t ask in what neighbourhood you lived, but will ask how you treated your neighbours.
14. God won’t ask about the colour of your skin, but will ask about the content of your character.
15. God won’t ask how many times your deeds matched your words, but will ask how many times they didn’t.

My Father once told me, "Remember two things in life: Always be answerable to: One, God and the second, Your conscience". And I follow that with my heart and soul. We believe in God. We are answerable to him and ourselves, not anybody else. His presence, His guidance, HE HIMSELF is our biggest strength. It keeps us going. So the next time you are about to do something you shouldn't, think again, SOMEONE's watching! ;-) ;-)

Totally agree. If a person follows at least one from the above list, I'd call it an accomplished life. Being humans, one must possess the ability to discriminate between right and wrong, if we don't do that, there is no difference between animals and humans. Nice write up DM :)
