What does "we should live life to it's fullest" mean to you?

I wonder just what percentage of us obey this lofty suggestion? Does it mean go hand-gliding,
climb mountains, take up causes, work in soup kitchens with nary a moment wasted? Or can it mean read a good book, hold a baby, pet a dog?
The latter seems to me to be a nice, minor activity in most ordinary days and can exist in a life wasted away, not lived to it’s fullest. How do you feel?
