To lead a meaningful life is to be happy. It is more than making money or fame though. It's about impacting peoples lives and being open enough to have people impact yours.
I know it sounds cliche but I think both my parents have lead significantly. They're not rich or doctors and not all of their dreams will ever come true, but they give and they give. They take the punches with the tide and hold it all together as great as they do. My biggest worries are research papers and scholarship applications, but my father was facing fatherhood when he was my age. So instead of being a coward, he decided to raise this lovely human being that is my brother and in turn learn from him. My mom is the most determined person I know. Through the blood, mud, and grit she's never once thrown in the towel and taught us never give up something we feel passionate about or on the people we love.
