      42 is the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. Fact.

      That’s something people spend their whole lives trying to figure out, and it’s important to figure it out for yourself, don’t worry about it too much though, it’s meant to take a long time and if you ask most people they probably haven’t decided yet.

      Well I don’t know if there is a point to life as a whole but I do know that out of all the millions of sperm looking for my Mother’s egg – I was born. ME!! I think that’s pretty cool.

      As long as I am decent person, know right from wrong, don’t hurt anyone, look after my children and partner, do my best for my patients, that is the point of my life. If I become some sort of legend along the way then that would be pretty sweet too.

      There is no one point. Everybody is different and each person must find their own point. It can take a short time or it can take a long time. The great thing about having youth is that you can spend some time deciding what is OK for you. There is no need for a descision right now. Trust me you will find your point soon

      That’s a really good questions, and it is something that I often think about!

      I don’t think there is a point to life as such – we are here on this planet, in a massive universe, with all these amazing things – look what we can do as humans, it’s pretty awesome!

      So for me, I try to live the best life I can – I work on something that I think is useful, I try to be nice to other people, I help people when they need it and I also try to respect the world we live in so that we can pass it on to the next generations in a good state. I think of my time on earth as something which might not have happened at all, so I want to make the most of it!

      I don’t think that money is the meaning of life – that is something that humans have invented along the way to enable us to exchange food, products and services. It is true that money can’t buy happiness. The more important things are making sure you do the things you want to do in life, and having other people around you that you really care about and can have fun with – all your friends and family!
