I disagree with the whole "live as long as possible" idea. I don't want to live forever, I just want to enjoy the time I have. I don't want to die thinking that I could've done this differently, or I should've done that this way...
The way I see it, "I've never regretted doing anything as much as I regret the things I haven't done."
Enjoy everyday to the fullest, because there might not be a tomorrow. Hedging your bet is a sucker's way to live. In the end, you can't take it with you.
Leaving a mark on the world? Making a difference in some way? Hey, not all of us were meant to do that. In the mean time, I try to let my family know that I love them and my friends know that I am there when they need me. Above and beyond that, I'm out to squeeze every bit of enjoyment I can out of life, regardless of what activities might bring me enjoyment at any given time. (sitting on the computer for hours on end, for instance)
