I may still be young and naïve but I believe that life is worth everything. For me, it's not just about having a relationship, companionship, good friends or maybe a job that you like, if you are lucky. Some people will settle for things like this because for them, it's by far the best it can get. For me,that's not all you get from this world. what about you?

Life has a lot of meaning..For me I can call it "LIFE" if I did something that will make it better.If I struggle for it,if I faces the obstacle and solved it in a positive way.Its just how you handle it and fight for you to have it. The key for a better life is for you to have faith and trust on what you can do.

Life is so much more than merely pursuing the norms of the society but trying to be a good person in my own accord. It is not about wildly chasing dreams to be superior over others. It's more about long walks down serene green meadows drowned in my own thoughts. It's more about feeling the wind hit my face, as I traverse my bicycle down the lane....

Life is all about achievements for me. I wanna record all of the things I've planned and finished and, if I can, put it on a frame and hang it on the wall. It's also about enjoyment. I've always believed that life should be fun. I've come across various people that said if you can ignore in full extent all your limiting beliefs, you will be able to enjoy life. I think that's true that's why I'm practicing it in almost every aspect of my life.

For me life is a gift and an opportunity to make a difference.Life may not always give us good things but it's a learning experience in every way.Life is so significant that once lost,there's no way to have it back except by God's will.Life is complicated,exciting,can be painful and full of miracles.

For me, Life is a gift, a challenge and a puzzle. It's a gift because God planned me to be in this earth through my mom and dad. Who would expect I would be bore in this world. It's a challenge because God gives us the freedom to do our own actions (either following our own will or His) It's a puzzle because in life, there are so many tricks to play, many roads to choose, many problems to solve and many questions to be answered. One thing I always kept in mind is that I am God's creation, I don't believe in the sense of science that a man came from the ape or from any other form. I'm proud I live a life that is a Christian meaning a Christ-like way of living. My life is just borrowed from Him and I know anytime, He has the right to take my life. I certainly agree with you that life isn't just about the people around us, our love ones, families, friends, office mates and church mates, whatsoever. But life is also all about how we value the mission God wants us to accomplish. And this mission is to spread Jesus and also to live a life according to His will. That one day, when time comes as man is appointed to die and after that is judgment, we could answer God on His question. "How did you live your life while you were on earth?"

Yeah i agree with melgrace here. Sometimes its more from what you get from the world, its sometimes more personal. For every person it varies, its just up to us to find whatever it is that makes life have its worth wild purpose. Like many others i'm still on that journey

For me Life is not only about enjoying but i describe life a a mixture of Joy and sorrows in life and life where a person handles his relationship with God, This is the true meaning of life according to me, In our life we always want all joys and want to keep aside the sorrows but one who is tolerable and patience gets the key towards the meaning of life because throughout my life i have seen this two qualities which are most concerning and important without such things life cannot move further. This is what i think about out beautiful life.

For me, life is one simple thing when everything is broken down. The act of living, getting the most of every single moment and just enjoying it to the best of my abilities. I stress the term the best of my abilities, as let's face it, with life, there are going to be numerous obstacles that are going to block our path to glory. That is just something that is bound to happen with anything in life. However, another key component of life is exactly how well we triumph over those obstacles and go on with the point of living life. That to me is the huge point of life, getting the most out of it, only how we can, despite what may be thrown in our paths. Is it going to be easy? Well absolutely not in many ways. There are precious few things that are in fact easy in this world. People have said that many parts about life is easy, but the actual concept of living to the best of your abilities, that might be the most tricky thing of all. However to me, that is the thing that does make life its most interesting. Despite it all, we've got to actually go through every single moment, living life, enjoy life, and getting the most out of everything. Life is about getting the most out of every precious moment, as you do never know when its all going to face its end. That to me is what life is all about.

As a man, I would like to get my soul mate for the first thing. I had been through some relationship within my life, and they are such failure. I would definitely want to experience the real love in my life at least once. Otherwise, I just call myself a total failure, and I am worthless for the existence in this world.

For me, Life means freedom... you can choose what life you wanna be and how are you gonna handle it. God gave us life to live and love one another. Being born in this world is the biggest thing happen to you because you can feel happiness,joy and love... aside from those positive feelings, it's also good to feel hurt,betrayed and anger because of these you will learn something from it and become strong as a human being...

I belief I will have only ONE life in this wonderful Earth. I always tell myself to live happily in this world. Besides, I have strong self-principles towards relationship, familyship and friendship because I think they play the most important roles in my life. Without them, my life will be just tasteless~! Life is about everything!

you are still very young and has not yet experienced difficulties in life. As you will grow older and encounter big problems that would be the time that you will learn more of the beauty of life. Because after you will resolve the problems that you may encounter, life would be more meaningful to you. But you have to think over and over whatever decisions you will make so that you will have a smooth way to follow as you go on with your life.
