The meaning of life is very simple: life has no meaning unless you create meaning. What that meaning is is going to differ from person to person.

The meaning I give to my life is to do everything I can to further human knowledge and to learn as much as possible myself.

For other people, it could be exploring the world, finding inner peace, helping as many people as possible, gaining power/money by any means necessary, etc.

All valid, some more well-intentioned than others. IMO if your goal is to do good by yourself and/or to others without actively seeking to hurt others, there isn't really a wrong answer.

Exactly. If there is a reason for our conscious existence, it is to observe and imbue with meaning. Otherwise the world just is.
