Family:

Bring mum to the States one day, and hopefully bring dad to Europe. Three kids, ideally two boys and one girl. Two of them ought to attend a brilliant liberal arts college, studying humanity subjects, and wish to exert a lasting impact in Chinese social transformation. An artist, or a real engineer thinking in a mathematician way can definitely add flavor into the family.

Travel:

Tripoints and quadripoints on earth are of my great interests – beyond a common wish of traveling to all of world’s countries and regions, I hope to gain a genuine understanding of peripheral cultures. Those cultures may not be popular, economies may not be strong, but they have indeed achieved connections and inspired great migrations that significantly redirect our history. Hindu Kush, Kashmir, Altay, Caucasus, the Balkans, Alsace-Lorraine, Kurdistan… to name a few.

Specifically I would love to explore the target areas in different means, flight, ferry, railway, motorbike, bicycle, automobiles, and on foot. Each grants a fresh understanding of distances and level of difficulty for cultures to spread and merge.

Career:

Ideally I could focus on environmental preservation (sustainable development and aspiration to human-nature harmony) and education, especially liberal arts and civil rights education, in China. Skill set, essential network, and a strong financial background are to be established, hopefully before age of 35.

Life-long learning:

Of my significant interest are subjects – (1) Gateway to nature and universe: mathematics (esp. chaos and topology), quantum theory, system theory, cybernetics and information theory. (2) Looking physically into ourselves: biology, ecology (earth natural habitats and the careful balance) (3) Looking mentally into ourselves: philosophy, history, religions, linguistics and acquisition of various languages, sociology, and developmental psychology (esp. its biological evidences and chemistry connections). Besides those non-fictional disciplines, great books, performing arts of all kinds (esp. music, theater plays and arts design) will also fulfill to a very significant portion of my inner self.

In terms of what I have gotten going today – I watched TedTalks inspirational videos and attended online open course on Chinese Zhuang Zi philosophy.

I’m really quite proud of myself for sticking with this program for a whole 12 days. That’s better than I usually manage with things like this.

Anyway, today’s was comparatively easy as I’ve had a bucket list since before the term was in use. I revisit it every year or so and occasionally add or remove an item. I find there are some things I wanted to do when I was in my twenties that now, I’m just not too bothered about. And there are other things I’ve thought of since.

Most of my remaining “to do” items revolve around travel. I’ve been to a lot of the places on the original list but not yet all. Need to get a move on.

- I wish I could spend more time with mom.
- I wish I could travel to Israel.
- I wish I could stay in Rishikesh (India) longer.
- I wish I could write couple more books.
- I wish I could get my body ripped like a male porn star for even just once.
- I wish I could levitate better in my yoga practice.
- I wish I could visit my brothers and my older sister even a little bit more.
- I wish I could influence just a little bit more people to the positive.
- I wish my life could be even a little bit more simplier and a little bit more happier.

Well, I have put my first goal into my bucket list, does anyone know how I can get a hold of Natalie Portman? lol Just kidding! This is a great idea, and as soon as I find a job, ha, actually, that’ll be the first thing that goes in.

I really like this exercise. Made me think about my life a lot. This year I will ride the Dragon Descent, my 7-year old can do it! And I will take dancing lessons with my wife after we are both done school.

I just recently came across this site and seeing the article 30 Days to being a better man I decided to start at day 1 and read them all. Most of them have motivated me but this one just frankly has me stumped.
I had never even heard of a Bucket List until that movie with Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson came out that one year, and at the time I thought it was an odd idea at best.

I’ve spent hours trying to find anything that would fit on my bucket list until I realized I have nothing. I’ve never particularly wanted to go anywhere or do anything special.

So I fear this is one exercise I will have to skip entirely.
