I was challenged by Michael Hyatt's podcast a month ago to write a bucket list of things to do before I die. Considering that people are more likely to accomplish what they write I thought "why not?". I think most of us have a small unwritten list in our heads, so we might at well write it to be able to look back at it every once in awhile to see if what we can mark off. Now my list below is a combination of meaningful, silly, and ridiculous goals. Some are very specific (like: #52) while others are vague on purpose. A quarter of them I have had in my head for some time and the other three quarters are ones I specifically came up with for this list. Things to Learn 1. Learn how to play the Cello 2.
