If this life was eternal, I doubt they'd give us a-levels to begin with. I mean there would be a much difficult examinations in place since everyone would be living forever and there would be much more competition.

Only you can give your life meaning. You have to find something you're passionate about and then achieving things becomes fun and helps you get out of bed in the morning.
Because a lifetime is a really, really long time?

We help each other because that is what the meaning of life was figured out to be. Other than that we live and die. We are simply a propagation in an otherwise empty land.

What's the point of good food if it just ends up as ****?
different people see things differently.. life according to you may be about achieving but its also about doing something worthwhile for the time you are here on this planet! Make a difference in some way. Einstein, Steve Jobs may be dead but look at their amazing contribution to society. Make the world a better place for the future people just the same way they have done for you and appreciate what you have!

We have a lifetime to live out, so we might as well try to do what makes us happy. For some, that means achievements.

You have many more decades before death. So the point is to make that time into something that's worthwhile for you personally.
For the experience of course! What's the point in living a life of boredom where you don't do anything? May as well enjoy the short time we have on this planet by doing something you enjoy, whether it be a hobby, job or learning something new/going somewhere new.
