April 7, 2008A List You Don’t have to Finish Before You Die
From Gus - The Possibility Hunter
I always seem to get books or find blogs entitled: “[stuff to see/do/eat] Before You Die”.
I get it: I’m mortal. And now I have 80,000 things to do before I die. Come on! I’ll have to live to be 200.
Here is my response: A list of websites to check out before the end of the month (and this deadline is flexible):
1. Eight Success Lessons We Can Learn from Barack Obama. I know this sounds political, but if you’re not a fan, just substitute ‘Yoda’ for ‘Obama’ in the appropriate places and enjoy the good advice. I especially like #8: Find a higher purpose for what you do. (or as Yoda would say: “for what you do, a higher purpose you must find.”) This courtesy of 360 Degrees Success and is written by David Richeson.
2. Fifty Nerdy things to do before you die I know I just said I didn’t like lists of things to do before I died but real nerds cryogenically freeze their heads, so it’s not really death is it? Anyway, this one is for the ladies, from the team at The Park Bench: A Gathering Place for Nerdy Women.
3. The Seven Best Cars To Die In Once you’ve finished the other lists… you only need to complete one off this list. No, not really. These are nice cars, though, except the Volvo.
4. The Eight Irresistible Principles of Fun and The 5.75 Questions You’ve Been Avoiding Yes, we all know these, but why not revisit something you love?
5. 101 Things in 1001 days This is cool. Not only do you get to populate your own list (I don’t want to die in a Volvo after all), you get a non-lethal date to complete it. And you get to be part of a community.
