I've always found Life "to-do" lists fascinating (like this one by adventurer John Goddard), and recently heard about another type of list called a "Bliss List" which is a list of things you really love like chocolate icecream with whipped cream What does your "Life List" or a "Bliss List" have on it |

This reminds me of an episode of This American Life on superpowers, where they talked to a woman who made one of these lists in her teens: Quote:

1. Buy and refurbish small abandoned wineries in Napa, Southern Italy, Normandy and the south of France. Each will be unique and completely reflective of the country and culture with a modern unique twist. 2. I will have secrete small restaurants through out the world. These restaurants will have Italian style open dinners where in dish after dish will be served. No menu and everything following a theme and presented as a surprise. Two separate families will be selected by scouts based on what they think will be the best prospect for creating a friendship. These dinners will be free and contain items taken from small wineries and local farms. 3. I will travel between these cites at random when not looking for new prospects and or participating in the construction of cites, in addition to creating all forms of art. 4. Create unique schools that cherish wisdom and artistic expression free of charge. Children will earn there far by doing good deeds without exception. |

| Oh, don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong. It's just... the sheer age of the thread in itself. Like... Damn! It's difficult to comprehend! What was I doing in 2006? I was... I was in high school, man! I was just a young boy. |

Here's mine, which is subject to change at any time without notice: Get rich. Use my money to help people in my local community. Have a house with a state-of-the-art recording studio. Travel the world and visit ancient ruins. Continue to learn things. and......... that's about it! Finding the right woman would be cool too, but I'm perfectly content being single. If I do then that'll just be icing on the cake. |
