"The question is often asked me, how to become a juggler. There is only one way, and one rule. It applies to everything else equally well, and that is: Whatever you make up your mind to do, stick to it until it is done. I have found it works very well."

There is no meaning to life, just justification; its better than the alternative.

I have a friend who believes everyone has to decide for themselves. Unfortunately, since she won't tell me what she thinks the meaning is, I remain stuck.

I think the meaning of life is to be happy and try to make others around you happy. It also helps to reproduce if you are smart and kill yourself if you are stupid

I think we each individually pick some big goal or dream or desire to go towards in life, and until we reach it, that is our purpose in life. After we reach it, we find another.
Which I guess, is somewhat related to her thinking.

I'm sorry? Surely those blessed with the unfailing ablilty to firmly avoid any contact with Douglas Adams' treachourous, foul, despicable, and most of all extremly boring books shouldn't be pitied but revered. Oh, the meaning of life is 42 (good joke!) - that'll keep the fans laughing all the way through 4 books. Oh, lets call it a "trilogy in 4 parts" hahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!! Will i ever stop laughing??? NO!!!!!!!!! DEFINELTY NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quite possibly. A shame I don't really have a goal for my life right now. Unless the generic "get rich, find true love and have beautiful children" counts?

Well, is that all you want out of life? Isn't there something you have that you're looking forward to?

Nothing important enough to warrant being the meaning of my life. Certainly, parties and girls are worth getting excited over, but anyone who thinks that debauchery is the meaning of life needs to think a little harder, in my opinion.
