In movies we saw how youngsters enjoy their life fully even being iresponsible, immature, lazy and all but eventually they do realise their responsibility and at the end you see they both enjoy their life and become ideal idividual also. Do you think it exists in life? Can a person gain both thigs in life(enjoying life to the fullest and become ideal)? I am only 22years but i never enjoy life wholely. I was always concentrating at studying during college days and now at the university i dont get time to go out with friends. there comes a time when you realise it and regret. How about you? did you enjoy your life?

Yah, I totally enjoy my life to fullest but in a good way. I take my responsibility well and I serve my family, my loved ones. In that way I can say that I spend my life and enjoy it to the fullest. I concentrate with my studies but I also indulge with my friends hanging out to them,texting, chatting and I know how to control and manage my time.

I work hard every day to live my life to the fullest. I suppose though that I woudl agree with your definition of it. I retired a few years ago and before I did, I gave a lot of thought to the things that I am passionate about. I wanted the last season of my life to be meaningful. Then I brainstormed ways to incorporate those passions into my life every day. I am happy and fulfilled. You could do that even while studying at university. I regret that I didn't learn this lesson earlier in my life. I spent a lot of time burying myself in the "busyness" of life and didn't take a lot of time to ensure that I was enjoying it. Good luck.

Nope, as far as I know, I'm not able to enjoy my life to my fullest yet. It's very hard to take a few minutes or moments of my time to go out with my friends. Now I still have to get prepared for my ABRSM Music theory exam, that's why I'm kind of busy now. My music teacher scheduled me for 3 days of my week to prepare for the exam. But, when I go for cycling or I'm with my friends, I do feel free and relaxed.

everybody can enjoy life to fullest, its all in your mind. if you keep on thinking negative thoughts then you will not be able to see how good life is. even at 22 and still studying, you can enjoy being a student, doing homeworks or projects with your classmate is a great way to enjoy, no matter how hard the subjects are, you can enjoy it by helping each other, brain storming or whatever activity you can. just think positive and stay close to your friends, go out watch movies together, eat together, simple but happy! its how you think about things and how you deal with life. you can never be happy if you think you are not or you continuously rejects positive vibes. i hope youll be able to find things that can make you happy, like going to school, think that there are lots of less fortunate youngsters who werent able to go to college because they cant afford.. its something to be thankful to and makes you happy youre fortunate enough. :)

For me, enjoying life to the fullest doesnt mean that we just bum around and laugh, and seize every moment the day offers. For me, enjoying life to the fullest is doing what you love to do, learning the things that you want to learn, and excelling because that's what you like. Also, living life to the fullest for me means preparing for your future, being productive all the time without compromising much of your hapiness. So I think, if we fully maximize our capacities, live righteously and productively, and we have a happy disposition in life, we are somewhat living our lives to the fullest.

How did you live like that for 22 years of your life? Just hangout with your friends whenever you can because you won't know when your life will end. It could end anytime. I think that is the idea behind those kids doing irresponsible stuff plus they are young meaning they are stupid. Young means stupid. Stupidity is fun. And when you get things bad, life will teach you a lesson and become responsible, then that is when people are mature. Anyway, if you don't enjoy now, when will you enjoy? Back to your questions. I think it exists in life but not as exact as in the movie because we are all different from each other. I enjoy my life the way I see it. I enjoy drama in my life, I enjoy comedy in my life, I also like horrors. I see my whole life as motion picture with splashes of different genres. Good luck with your exile.

I'm enjoying my life right now. I'm making the best out of it. It's really fun. I'm always thinking that life is short so we just have to make the best out of it and that's what's happening to mine right now.

enjoying our life is based more on ones attitude rather than our present circumstances. Our reflection of life is dependent on how we perceived it to be or not to be. Our views our forms based on what our 5 senses provided us. And mostly, our views where form from the mass media that constantly bombarding us or let may say programming our mind set on biases of life. For me, I just keep low, keep hoping, keep inspiring,and keep going.Hope keeps us alive on this life journey. I learn to be content when I am on high ground and when I am on the low. There is a saying that says "life is made up 90(%) percent as a result of our attitude and 10(%)by external forces like the environment. Enjoy what you have today and pray to God to show you the beauty of your current environment. Remember one thing, we should be the one who changes the environment around us not the revise.

I'm only 20 so if I were to die today I would say that I enjoyed my life. There were lots of hardships, of course, but I think the good far outweighs the bad. I have a fantastic family. I have great friends. I have travelled to three continents. I can speak more than one language. I was blessed with a roof over my head and food on the table. And, mot importantly, I have God. I would absolutely say I enjoyed my life :)
