The question is quite subjective really, and relative to each individual person. It has to take account of all aspects of such a small, but largely huge ideal.
The purpose of life may be to live a life worth living ... which again is relative to what is worth living for; others, money, booze, 'fun' ... for the world, for family, service, for power, control, and superiority, all but some of what people value.
The purpose of life may also be to find what purpose there is. To understand your call, and reason to be here, your uniqueness of a species, of a creature to this world and universe. It may be to the next person to advance the world in knowledge, or to guide someone to it. To find a way to do away with what is there ... to find what is hidden, or to reveal what was already there.
In the saddest way ... the purpose of life could simply be to die. Rather it be symbolic and be for the rise of another species or time, or a greater good of Humanity ... or simply like all animals who we treat as inferior to the human complexity of things ... to disappear into existence and be the grounds in which things will grow from.

Well purpose is different with every person. I feel my purpose in life is to live and learn. I love to learn and become educated on more and more things. I am learning languages right now and intend on traveling the world. The purpose of one's life, I believe, changes as we start to actually live our lives out and not worry about what we are meant to become or do in life. :D

everyone's answer to this will be different and really it is a pointless question to ask. if just so happens that we humans came into existence on this beautiful planet. you are lucky to have life, seriously. now do whatever the heck you want with your life to feel fulfillment.

Quite simple: To die. You have no other purpose because it's the only thing every will do. And everyone WILL do it. No exceptions. It's not like everyone invents a new item, or performs something big every day. I say, I think it's death. It's the most obvious answer I can think of since I am kinda philosophic
