The theme for this, i think different people have different views.
As for myself, i think i still not clear what kind of life is meaningful. Sometimes, i think i was wasting the life, especially in my holiday, at some time i have no purpose to do something.
So i want to know what life you think is meaningful. And if you can hold it, how you can hold it.

Thanks for your good point of discussion.
In developing our life it must have three(3) major factors to make it as "meaningful life". You and me must have those three(3), and it all as following; vision, mission and objective.
VISION
the faculty or state of being able to see, the ability to think about or plan the future with imagination or wisdom. A great mental image of what the future will or could be like. Imagine or envision.
MISSION
a field of tasks listed towards feasibleness to make our vision comes true in specific period of time.
OBJECTIVE
the positive values and benefits that should be the outcomes once and after our vision turns to reality.
***if you start it now, you can feel the difference in yourself compare to your yesteryears and now for future. There will be no more words of wasting time in your life and will be feeling not enough time for every beat of the clock. The running clock will always against you and you will tends making the best equation to be human of succession and next for human of value.
***the end for now.

Thank you very much for you answer. You give me a good refrence.
I think the development of thing is a proces of gradually increasing, from easy to hard ,from crude to perfect.
And the things i should do firstly is to set up goal ,then growth in the process of fumbling.
But there still have big problems ,i still don't know what life is i want to and what lift is meaningful for me.

Every single life is precious and every single life has meaning because every single thing you do even though you don't realize it affects the future in some way. It may start off by being taking time with someone even for a second establishes their future, the life you have been given is a gift, you are like a thread in a tapestry, every thread is important to complete the whole tapestry.

That's a loaded question so be prepared for a loaded answer. Well, actually, my take on a meaningful life is fairly simple. Learn from your experiences, your mistakes, and use them to strengthen your wisdom so you can better influence the life of others. Leading to the second half of this is, make a positive impact on the world and people around you and strive to make your presence in the world felt. Only in this way IMO can you leave your mark...your legacy...on the world.

Is that your mean when we improve ourselves we make contributions to the people around us,no matter on the magnitude of the contributions, just leave mark?
A talented person i known told me that his wishes is willing to share his life with his family. Whether we can say that his life is meaningless.
And what is meaningful life more about? about ourselves or the people aroud us or the world we live.
