Some say there are things on their "bucket list" which they want to achieve before they die. I find it really hard to plan out such goals because there is no certain dead line, no pun intended by the way. By I have laid some things out that I would like to achieve before 2013 and 2020. It's not exactly set in stone, just on my white board.
2013:
1. Get married
2. Buy a new car
3. Graduate Institute
4. Earn a BS degree
2020:
1. Obtain a Law degree
2. Run a Marathon
3. Learn 7 Languages
4. Buy a house
My dad always said that to shoot for the stars and land in the trees is better then to shoot for the trees and land in the dirt. I hope i don't let him down. One concern that many who know me may point to is that I have been known to flip flop on what I want "to be when I grow up." I have set my sights on all the typical childhood dreams of sports, fame and fortune, marian biology, astronomy, teaching, music and the list could go on and on.
But I am setting the goal, and like I said, it's not set in stone. I am willing to change, but I wish to achieve greatness in life. I don't want to just stand on the shoulders of giants, I want to be one of them. I don't want to just learn of history, I want to make it. I want to look back in my old age and say, "my oh my, look what this old dog once did."
