We may not be quick to admit it but we all have a hidden Bucket
List that, like a life goal we hope to have achieved before we
finally say goodbye to mother earth ranging from 'within reach' to
'the extreme'.
What would you like to do before you die? Build a school, a place of
worship, have the highest number of followers on twitter, an
endowment fund for the less privileged or even an endowment fund for
your pet. Its all up to you.
Before I die I want to be guaranteed Heaven. This may seem an
unrealistic target but if I think I can pull it off, then I can. Its
my bucket list not anyone else's.
A positive to be derived amongst the numerous positives from this
bucket list thing is that it is a way to spur us on. It
encourages one to work hard to achieve these goals or achieve goals
that lead to achieving these goals. Saying 'before I die I want to
start my own business' can ginger me to work hard to be able to put
resources together, invoke the entrepreneurial spirit in me to
think-up or start a business of my own. The same can be said of
learning a new skill, a new language or understanding one's religion.
Almost everyone wants a car but not all of the 'almost everyone' gets
a car. Saying 'before I die I want to own a car' would fire you up to
save more, spend less, invest more, improve myself and skills so you
can earn more just so you can hit that target of buying a car.
For me, before I die I want to drive a Formula 1 car, I want to go to the apex of Mount Everest, I want to drive around the Nurburgring in Germany, I want to do all sorts. It could be for fun, humanity sakes or business. No matter what you do it for, it is worth having a bucket list.
