What is the most meaningful thing you did in life?

Question

What is the most meaningful thing you did in life? Please be specific and explain!!

Answer 1

The most meaningful thing I've done so far is achieving my personal goals.

I've found love, graduated high school, gone to college, joined a marching band, had a cat, grown a plant... many little goals that make my life worth living and satisfactory to date. I have many goals to go in my short lifetime, but they will all be equally meaningful to me in the end of things.

Answer 2

Gave birth to two healthy girls.  Other than that, nothing.

Answer 3

Well... my dear...

Let me see...there were  MANY ...meaningful things I've done in my life & I still try to do "some more"...before I "depart", but the most essential...I guess would be..that I took my husband away from this "slave-job" on Henry  Ford's Assembly-line...back in 1976...encouraged him to get some "higher" education...(he was perfectly "happy"/content with an high-school-diploma, coming from the SOUTH, poor,black & underprivleged....) He was uncertain of being able to go to college, but I verified & promised, I would assist him & help him all I can...-which I did- (went to libraries, typed his research-papers, corrected his mistakes, etc.,etc)-

I could write a whole "book" about this "happening", but I want to keep it short...-in essence...this poor, black assembly-line blue-collar-worker..."licked blood" as they say...he found JOY & contentment in the learning process -and- "over the years"...achieved batchelor, masters, etc.- and - TODAY...he is a professor at : Highland Park Community College in Detroit !!! I don't want to "earn" credit for his achievements...-even though...had I not motivated him, encouraged him, helped him... he probably would still be "a slave at Henry Ford's Motor Co.---( I must also mention: I got a divorce back in 1978 when I saw, he was on his "way"...) ---In retrospect, I regret it today, because now...I'm back here in Germany -unemployed- and if I had "stuck" with him... I would be much better off...as : Mrs. Professor ....-well-...that's the way it is, but I'm glad for him & a little proud of myself that I was "responsible" for another person's success!!! I've always been condescending towards others !!!

Wishing you all the best for the future !! Greetings from Germany...Annette***

Answer 4

In junior high I wrote a poem to a gal that had been having difficulty in life - foster homes, that sort of thing - about how there could not be pleasure without pain.  Didnt think much of it, not a very impressive poem,  and the gal disappeared from my life.

About 10 years later I ran into her again - she was in college, and told me that poem had turned her life around.  

Its not always the big things in life that become the most meaningful.

Answer 5

Answer 6
