In The Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle divided virtue into two types, moral virtue and intellectual virtue. In his explanation of moral one, he says: "...none of the moral virtues arises in us by nature; for nothing that exists by nature can form a habit contrary to its nature" (Book 2, 286). So how do we gain the moral virtue? Moral virtue comes from itself without being accustomed, it is an innate matter that does not depend on education or repetition, unlike the intellectual virtue that comes from education and the performance of various activities, which helps us acquire and develop skills.

A key virtue is to maintain honesty at all costs. In The Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle says: "piety requires us to
honour truth above our friends"(Aristotle, line 17). This text emphasizes the importance of honoring the word of truth, placing it even above personal relations. Here, there is a clear contest between friendship and our obligation to the truth. Truth is meant to be as close to our hearts as the dearest people to us.

Virtue and respect are similar; both are not related to the nature. In addition, respect is considered as one of the most important moral virtues.  As Aristotle states: "... it is plain that none of the moral virtues arises in us by nature" (Aristotle, 23). In contrast, virtue and respect are gained by the repetition of actions. Therefore, they mostly depend on the nurture which is the morals that are gained by depending on how a person is brought up. To sum up, respect and virtue are fully related to nurture.

One of the most notable concerns in societies is that people search for value of their lives, a goal that powers them to wake up every morning. Therefore, it has always been of interest to philosophers, such as Aristotle. In The Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle attempts to define this ultimate goal, when he argues: "Now such a thing happiness, above all else, is held to be; for this we choose always for itself and never for the sake of something else" (Aristotle, page 10). Aristotle thinks it is the goal that is an end in itself, not looking for anything beyond it. I agree with this opinion, because anything but this inner stability seems endless, like gathering money, which will not ultimately fulfill man.

In The Nicomachean Ethics (Book 2), Aristotle states that "[T]he virtues arise in us neither by nature nor against nature. Rather, we are by nature able to acquire them, and we are completed through habit." What is a virtue, according to Aristotle?  In addition, does the good life essentially involve exercising the virtues? Aristotle proposes that virtue is a disposition, not a feeling or a faculty. Virtues and vices are not a subject of praise or blame, as well as feelings. Virtues dispose us to act in a certain way, just as feelings that move us.

People always have been searching for happiness. Searching for good is connected with what the human does, like jobs. Humans find different actions and art which represent "the good." As Aristotle said in The Nicomachean Ethics, "The good must be something final and self-sufficient. Definition of happiness reached by considering the characteristic function of man"(Aristotle, 10)....

Happiness is considered an important aspect of life that people aim for. In their pursuit for happiness, they seek the ultimate good. This idea of happiness and its importance was introduced in Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics: "As a result, if there is some end of all actions, this would be the good related to action; and if there are several, then it would be these" (Aristotle, 1.7).

There are various views to what happiness is: some consider it the joy and the sense of well-being, others consider it safety. However, Aristotle stated the following in terms of happiness or what he calls "the Good": "the good must be something final and self-sufficient" (The Nicomachean Ethics, page 273, lines 13-14). This passage connects Aristotle's conception of happiness and the good life with his conception of virtue; it is pointed out that the good life is not an end state that we achieve but rather a way of life that we live. The bulk of the ethics is devoted to discussing the various moral and intellectual virtues. These virtues are dispositions to behave in the correct way. They are not activities, but they ensure that our activities will be of the right kind.

In the first book of The Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle mentions the concept of happiness: "[T]he good for man is an activity of the soul in accordance with virtue, or if there are more kinds of virtue than one, in accordance with the best and most perfect kind" (chapter 7). When Aristotle mentions activity he does not only mean physical one, but  also  mental. People aim for happiness not to end their lives.

Virtues are made by actions, they vary from person to person, thus everyone should work hard for them. Aristotle claims that "Again, it is from the same causes and by the same means that every
virtue is both produced and destroyed, and similarly every art; for it is from playing the lyre that both good and bad lyre-players are
produced" (Aristotle, 286-287). Yet, virtues could be destroyed by actions as well, so everyone should be aware of the actions they do.

In the second book of Nicomachean Ethics, the writer talks about learning to do new things which he agrees that us “humans” can do by our nature before even trying to do them so he says: “of all the things that come to us by nature we first acquire the potentiality and later exhibit the activity” (Aristotle, 27-28). Though we obtain our skills by our nature then by trying certain activities, there are still other ways to improve certain abilities in some activities. Those mainly depend on the five human senses in which humans can learn to do things by adapting certain jobs with the appropriate sense. In any case, humans tend to learn new things every day. As a result, we use several ways to achieve those that are mainly supported by our nature.
