Whats your reason for living?

I was asked this today (not a suicide topic) and all I could come up with was "i want to be a great teacher one day" . The person told me thats all? I said yep then got looked at like I was crazy.
So I ask you all whats your reason to live every day?
I use swype so expect bad grammar and errors

Mine is to make an impact in the field of health medicine.
I was did some molecular biology study with a professor in cancer research and so far the results look promising. So yeah, that's me lol

I don't have one either (that I know of?). Kinda sucks lol. I can't exactly say that I'm waiting to die though. I mean, I'm only 19 . But... It'll be a new experience, depending on your belief system.

To me it's just to live and enjoy life, to see the beauty in life and to have a family one day. (I'm only 18 lol)

I think what he meant was to be a little bit more motivating, therefore my reason to live is to answer the question, why live?

Ignore.
Edit: For those fortunate enough, i want to hear more about what they will be doing with their lives. It's what the OP wanted, after all. One of you could well go on to be a leader of their nation or the head of a big tech company. Exciting times!

Or for some, they might end up being supreme ruler of the world! In which case, remember me
Seriously though: I want to teach elementary school because I think that our educational system has lost alot of essentials that I had back in my elementary school days. I recently went back to a Middle School and some of the things I heard from teachers is that the students are not as focused or bright as they used to be. Tech savy yes, mentally strong, no.

I don't have anything in mind. If something needs do happen, it does, else, it don't. I don't see much in life at the moment.

I stay alive cause it hurts to die

well... just broke up?

Just come to the usual forum..
Knew my gf in freshmen year of college, have been in relationship since..
we actually rented an apartment and lived together for ~4 years already..
now she needs to work far away while I stay for the last semester.. she told me I'm more like her family member than a bf, and she wants a passionate relationship..
and now she's about to be gone.. Its just too hard for me now..
Sorry to rip you guys day...

Well, it's going to hurt for a long time... but it will not kill you. Good luck.

of cause I know... and of cause I know this post is just immature... but its just difficult. But I would rather prefer a reason not like this one..

thought I really found a soul mate, but guess its not what I thought..

We have a song in our country that says "Ο έρωτας με έρωτα περνάει" (love goes away with another love). Go out with the most braindamaged friends you got meet other people get drunk get arrested do anything just dont let it eat your insides

Well, I just broke up with my girlfriend last week...

well... depends on the faith you put in..

Shes dong you a favor. Instead of continuing with a broken relationship and leading you on, she ended it.
You are young, and if you experience more of life then youll know more of what you want and dont want.

She does not deserve you if she didn't/doesn't realize what you have/had together. Some people are blind to, what is right in front of them.
I didn't write that. Prove it!!!

Me and my girlfriend of 3 years broke up 3 months ago, she was a cheating whore. I'm still semi broken up about it cause I actually did love her. But you gotta be strong and move on, focus on yourself and you will do great things with your life.

Guess I am just perceptual.. Thought I can do something for her at the end, but still I just couldn't do a single one.. We will both miss each other for our memories and importance, I ensure, things just didn't work out at the moment..
Given I lived 1/4+ of my life already, my purpose is still far from being reached.

Anybody on this Forum in the Military?

Like the title states... I'm pre-enlisting into the Marine Corps next summer, and I've recently gotten into XDA. I figured I'd try to find anyone else on this Forum in/joining the Military.

I almost signed up to the British Army when i was 16 and have always regretted not following through with it. In my work i have a lot of colleagues who are ex-military and they're all great guys. Every one of them deserve the utmost respect for serving their country.
If it's what you want to do, don't let anything stand in your way! Keep us updated with your news and hopefully in future you can tell us stories about your Boot-Camp and Tours of duty!

I'm also in the process of joining the USMC. I'm just waiting for my backround check to come in but its been two months already .. I think its because I had to put in a waiver but hopefully my waivers go thru ..

When the military are used to police the civilians in their own country you know that something is wrong! Any soldier that raises a weapon to one of their own deserves everything that IS coming to them!
Good luck my friend. The people will always triumph in the end, be patient!

I deeply believe in Karma. Not as some supernatural, occult force...just that everyone has everything that's coming to them! Live your life as a good person and good things will come your way. Live your life as an evil bastard and that's how your life will end.
Live by the sword, die by the sword. What goes around, comes around. Pick your metaphor! The good will out...

There's no politicaling going on around here! So how's everyone finding their HTC, Widows Mobile phone anyway.....?
Edit: It's a shame that there have to be divisions, borders, territory, politics in real life. We are all one race and we all share the same planet. XDA is my favourite site because the things that bring us together knows no boundaries. I now have friends all over the world, all good people, and like the other 99% of the worlds population we all want the same thing! A long and fruitful life and good health for ourselves, our friends and our families.
In a forum of 4 million members i would say that XDA OT is the place to come to find friendship, understanding, respect, fun, sadness, joy, and laughter. We have member aged from 14 years to 60 years, from every walk of life, from every nation. We don't fight, we don't hate...we laugh, we share sorrow and we spread happiness. I would be a lesser person if not for the people i surround myself with here. I learn with these people, i share with these people...these people are my family!*
*The mods are especially awesome!

I was born in the military. My mom was in the Army and had me right before her Unit was deployed to Grenada or Panama or some place back then. She had the choice of signing me over to the custody of the US or get out of the military. My mom was born in the military, too. On one of the Naval bases in Hawaii. My grandpa was in the Marines. I got accepted in high school but backed out when a mess of things happened and none of my family wanted me to enlist, but rather go in after collage. Got rejected when I was 23 for enlistment and again when I was 25. Too much trouble making when I was a kid. Maybe we'll get in another world war and open the draft again. I'll join then, they won't reject me then.

Has the word THANKS and SORRY become to cheap?

Do you think that, too?

Quite the opposite, i reckon they're still not used enough. Of course it's become easier to do online but people are still reserved and reticent to be polite to strangers. Natural reaction i guess. Perhaps the fact that people are being polite online may carry over to real life eventually?
Personally i've always found myself being awkward in real life social situations and heartfelt stuff just makes it worse. Gotta be drunk for that stuff! No such problem saying Thanks, please, sorry etc on here though.

I don't think the mods will like that. A "thank you" is a thing you'll have to deserve.

I will however 'Thank' any currently serving, or previously serving, member of any of the Armed Services on principal.

Going back to school

well im a full time welder and I've always liked my job But lately things have been going slow in my life and I feel like i'm just going nowhere in life.
I went to college coming out of high school and blew it off like an idiot. I've always been wanting to go back but I always feel like i'm setting myself up for failure and will just waste my time and money.
I'm 24 years old and now i'm at a point in my life where I have to start getting my **** together, but this welding job is just moving to slow for me.
for the past 3-4 years, I've been learning and working with computers. Im not a pro at it but I know more then the average person.
Well I've been doing a lot of thinking and its time I go back to school to improve my life. i want to get more into the computer world and chase a computer science degree. My question to you guys is, where should I start? I know I need to look into schools, classes etc. what I mean is what can I start studying in the mean time (before I actually start my schooling) so that I can have a head start.

What kind of thing do you want to do with computers? Hardware, software, app development, web development, game development, db admin, network admin? There's loads of routes to go down, all dependant on what you want to do.
And if anyone recommends a programming language to you before you answer that question then they don't know what they're talking about. Either that, or they're just saying "this is what I know - look at me - aren't I clever?".

Im leaning toward network admin. Im planning to aign up fall or winter classes but I wanna study a bit before starting. My company will pay for the schooling depending on the grades.

I can't advise you on the network admin side of things, other than you'll need a good degree to get a decent job, or start really at the bottom and work your way up slowly. It's quite a well-educated field, for real pros. There's plenty of hack and slash network admins out there, but they're the type that bring networks down by saying "I wonder what that does!" (I've worked with some of them before )

Absolutely, good luck with it. I was 22 before I got a qualification in programming, despite developing software since the age of 8. No-one would give me a job without it, so I did a course, got the paper and got a job. Been doing it ever since.
It's good to do something new and start over, as long as it's something you have a passion for.

I'm in medical school now, three years to graduation(but, I'll study another six years after that...). I have this friend, he's, I think over 30 years, and he's at the same "grade" as I am. He also was like you, had a "low-education"(help me here ) job, and then he decided to go into Med. I'm kinda proud of him, he's a good inspiration for people like you. It's a long way to become a doc, but it's never too late. I strongly recommend you to go to school, it'll be worth it!
All respect and luck shall be with you!

Definitely check out the Community Colleges in your area, especially ones that have really good relationships with the better Engineering/Technical universities in your area. You will save yourself a ton doing your first two years there, and a lot of schools that will even let you get complete your four year degree through associated Community Colleges. You also get the benefit of smaller classes and professors that actually know your name.
I just finished my associates after going on and off forever so don't feel like you're outback because you've waited. Get it done man, you're still well ahead of the curve. If you want to start this fall though you need to go ahead and sign up.

Is it bad that I don't want to go to college? I'm a high honors student and everything but I don't know. My parents would hate me for this. After highschool I want to book a flight to some other part of the country. Maybe somewhere in California? Find an okay job and a little apartment. Buy myself a comfy couch and live alone and sit and soak in life. It's all I want I guess... But I get it you guys are motivated by things like your own family and stuff. I'd love to find someone but I know that probably won't happen because of the person I am. So I have no need to have a lot of money or be rich at all like most people. Just enough to get by and maybe occasionally buy a game or phone or something haha.

Most apartments and stuff in my particular area are about 300 to 400 a month which isn't too bad for a decent place. But im in a small town, now if I was to drive about 15 minutes to the next town they can be around 700 to 1200 a month
Im a special case however the place I got me and the roommate own the property and the house, so we only have to pay utilities and bills.
