In some way or the other their discoveries and the struggle is helping us today. What were their goals of life when they were the age of me ? I think they all had it figured it out at 21 when I can't.
Sometimes I suspect that people like that simply do their physics or maths as an obsession, and becoming famous and finding out great things in the long run is more of a byproduct. I somehow doubt that Euler thought he was doing something great for all of mankind, or even becoming famous, when he did all his work. He surely was obsessed by the maths first, and thought about the consequences later.
