What is the major goal in Buddhism?
The goal of all Buddhists is to attain enlightenment. Enlightenment can be best described as understanding and seeing the world as it is without preconceived ideas or judgements; that is seeing what actually is happening not what we think is happening, which are two distinct things. The idea is that once we stop the misconception of how the world works we can be happier (less discontentment). Furthermore, the goal of some Buddhists, called a Bodhisattva is to bring all beings to this enlightenment.
Why did it take 35 years for Siddhartha to become the buddha?
For the first years of his life, Siddhartha lived a sheltered life and questioned nothing.

Life is full of suffering?
Suffering is an important part of an ignorant life. Those who live with ignorance make suffering a very important part because ignorance is the cause of suffering. But is it necessary to suffer? It is not. Although we will suffer in the beginning, if we go in quest of the truth, if we ask, investigate and realize we are the Divine Soul, then we will be free from the triple suffering of the body, mind and ego. Otherwise, suffering becomes not an important part, but an integral part of life. Every human being who lives as ME, the mind and ego suffers. We experience physical pain, we are miserable because of fear, worry, depression and we are so anguished by anger, hate, revenge, jealousy only because we are ignorant. All suffering can disappear on enlightenment.
