An extended research project

Living a good life is rather like running an extended research project. We define what we mean by 'good' and then we design some test protocols, and then we see. When we have enough data, we revise our test protocols in the light of what we learned, and then we see.

In life, as in research, a certain repeatability of effect is the hallmark of accurate hypothesis. Novelty in results means you're still trying to work out how your experiment works.

What works for you? What links each of the qualities you value in life? Is there a pattern? Base your observation on fact: things you have and have done which seem 'good' to you. Future 'good' is a mere hypothesis.
