A life well set and a life well lived. There’s only a difference of word between the two but by its meaning it differs a lot.
 A life well set may mean that a person has reached to a point where he has achieved everything in his life through his hard work and dedication, he has struggled through the hard times and faced it with brave head and turned the tide towards his favor. Maybe temporarily as he reached through this landmark he had to compromise in between, give up some of his dreams and also face lot of criticism but nonetheless he kept going and finally achieved what he had set to achieve.
 A life well lived means that a person has lived his life throughout the journey he had first embarked upon. He faced some failure in the work he had started but he succeeded in living in his dream, he might be a loser with respect to collecting accolades from the world and his peers but he was a winner right through the start as he practiced and preached what was right and always stood by it. He did not bow to the worldly pleasures just to make a hefty bank balance for his future savings.
