Everyone's idea of the point of life may vary, but there is one thing we all share in common. We all want to leave this life feeling like we have made an impression on the world. Whether it be one person or one hundred people, we want to feel as though someone was better off having us around.
For some people this means having a successful career or maybe even fame. For others it's as simple as having a family grow up well. I guess for the remainder of people who don't fall into those categories, they probably leave their mark behind in another way that is significant to them.
For me personally, I guess someday I want my parents to be proud of me, and to feel like they did a good job. I have a disability, so I am a little limited in the things I can do (Example, the career I studied for, I pretty much can't do), so someday I would like to gain independance, despite this.
I think if I can die knowing I did my best, and I conquered my own limitations, I will have no regrets.
