What is your goal in life?

Oh god, I hate being asked this question. Why do job interviews always ask this? You can never be sure what you want to do because there's a good chance it'll never happen.

One of my Graduate Studies professors actually once said that sometimes, depending on the person who's interviewing you, a good answer to the question, "Where do you see yourself in 5 years (or whatever many years) with our organization?" would be "In your position." He explained that it shows a good mix of humor and ambition on the part of the interviewee.

The most likely answer is "In the mirror"

Form a Socialist city-state with an election/governmental system of my own design someplace in the world and prove that it can, indeed, function.

From there, continually attract more immigrants with our high standard of living and relatively low work load for the general populous, and build more settlements as needed.

Our civilization shall survive the apocalypse and repopulate the planet, forming a new planet-wide society centered around the betterment of our lives and the exploration of the universe.

Who said Socialism doesn't work.

Make a real difference in the world. not just have stuff for myself, which would be nice, admittedly, but pour out my life into others via charities, leadership roles, and a genuine love for other people, no matter who they are. I'd say I'd rather die poor and servile than high and mighty.

As for why I want to do all of that, the answer is super religious and I'm sure many of you wouldn't want to hear all the details.

Leave a legacy.
Time on Earth is short. The only thing you can leave behind is your memory.
That's pretty much why I plan on making cult classics rather than soulless cash-grabbers. At least one person will remember it – in a GOOD way – and I can die happily knowing that.

To do good things that makes other people happy in life. I want to be a nice human being and help others in whatever they do.

Something between this and Mack's answer. My faith (usually) guides everything I do. So I do what I think I'm "Willed" to do until I think it's something else.

But I think that if I have any special talents (even though I've been neglecting that), then they would revolve around listening to people and being there for them regardless of the situation. I don't really love being around most people, but I do love people, and I want the best for them. I try to reflect that whenever I interact with people. It's part of the whole faith thing, but that is a part of me.

So that (among having met so many awesome people) is why I am who I am. And becoming a more mature, more developed version of who I am now is what my goal is in life.
