I will lead as virtuous a life as I can* (my own term's of course) and hope this gets me some kind of deal should there be an afterlife. If there isn't one, well, it's really not my problem - "Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not."
As for living/existing forever on this world, I'm not sure I'd want to. Not that I don't find life satisfying, but I think after 80 years I'd be willing and ready to take the plunge as it were.
And of course, like many I aim to "live on" through earthly achievement.
*NB. This means is not meant towards this single end.
