Right livelihood means a person should not indulge in an activity which is not right; every individual must earn their livelihood by doing right activities. Very few people in the world are following this and this is why they have wealth but not the satisfaction and health. Satisfaction can only be got if an individual practices the noble eight fold path. Cheating other people for money can make a person rich but that individual will never be satisfied because to get satisfaction one must earn their livelihood by right fair and right means.
