Other

* ...to find true love

* ...to live, and enjoy the passage of time
* ...to have fun
* ...to participate in the inevitable increase in entropy of the universe
* ...to make the conformists' lives miserable (see non-conformism)
* ...to participate in the chain of events which has led from the creation of the universe until its possible end (either freely chosen or determined, this is a subject widely debated amongst philosophers)
* ...to relate, connect, or achieve unity with others
* ...to resolve all problems that one faces, or to ignore them and attempt to fully continue life without them, or to detach oneself from all problems faced (see Buddhism)
* ...to seek and find beauty
* ...as there is no intrinsic meaning to life, to each individual, the "meaning of life" is whatever he/she decides it is. In that sense, every point above is potentially valid.
* ...an answer to the question "What is the meaning of life?" is that it is just simply being able to ask the question, "What is the meaning of life?" (see Sri Sri Ravi Shankar below)
* ...to determine a set of goals based on an individuals belief in the meaning of life and work towards the attainment of those objectives.
* ...a combination of any of the above.
* ...42

No purpose, and therefore...

* ...to simply live until one dies (there is no universal or celestial purpose)
* ...just a series of events
* ...just nature taking its course
* ...the wheel of time keeps on turning
* ...the cycle of life
* ...whatever you see you see, as in "projection makes perception"
* ...there is no purpose or meaning whatsoever (see nihilism)
* ...who cares?
* ...because nobody will ever love you.
* ...life may actually not exist, this is all a surreal dream.

But most importantly

* ...not to die.

Answer 2

We are not born with purposes but with possibilities, and with the instincts for self-preservation and procreation. It is up to each of us to look over our possibilities and find a purpose for ourselves that is within those possibilities. Others, like parents and teachers, can help us figure this out, but there is no book of detailed instructions on how to do it, although there are scriptures that give good advice on the general ways to behave while doing it. These have been over time translated into laws and customs of behavior.The better we find a purpose for ourselves, within our laws and customs, the better the world gets, and the better off each of us becomes. We are (most of us) also given a desire and instinct to procreate and establish a family. How well we do that also determines if we and those in the world around us are better off because of our lives. As the world progresses because of better purposes that we find for ourselves, knowledge of the world and life and even of the universe increases, until someday it may be understood with more certainty what the purposes implicit in the creation of the world, life and the universe really are. In the meantime, we must, with some help from those around us, do our best to find our own purposes in life, based on our inborn possibilities.
