Every human has an intrinsic longing deep within us to be or become something, theres this inner longing to fill a certain void in our heart and sometimes if that thing isnt achieved no matter the amount of money you may make you wont find that satisfaction hence many commit suicide; herein lies who we truly are figuring that thing out and dedicating our lifes wholly to it will bring lasting satisfaction. we live in a fast world and thus sometimes were too busy to pay attention to our inward yearnings and voices thus a lot of us are missing out of creating lasting impact in our world; a wise man once said that the richest place in the whole world is the grave because buried in there, are potentials that left untapped....
Men like Albert Einstein[relativity], Isaac Newton[gravity], Thomas Edison[bulb], Mohamed Ghandi, Nelson Mandela[freedom] etc were able to identify their purpose. The truth is that any life that is lived for oneself is a worthless life, ive come to see life as a seed that must be sown and the fruits be for the good of humankind in the absence of this there will never be a genuine satisfaction. we must of necessity search within ourselves to find this inward driven purpose.
There are a few things that deprives us from finding ourselves viz;
a. When we compare ourselves with others we miss the mark, as this saps our internal energy.
b. When we begin to place huge importance on materialistic[especially financial] gains.
c. When we begin to make excuses about our background and position thus avoiding to take a leap of faith towards actualizing our goals.
d. When we take a conservative approach to life and not launch out because we are scared instead of being courageous.....
We must understand that in pursuing our purpose is where we get to find our true self.

Even if we die like all those men you named?

St. Paul says, "But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that this all-surpassing power is from God, and not from us."

If we don't recognize that it is all from God, then we die in vain.
