- Start a New Hobby. ...
- Travel. ...
- Try a New Food. ...
- Read Particular Books. ...
- Redecorate a Room. ...
- Get a Pet...
I am shock to see the bucket list as I have done all the above over & over again
Why wait so long? We work to live, not live to work
Surely, those can be tucked in somewhere between study, career, house, marriage/family, kids...
How did Cheong, the special force commando gave up everything & became a monk? He prefers to be known as the Venerable Tenzin Drachom
Why did Venerable Ajahn Siripanyo, the son of Malaysia's third richest man, Ananda Krishnan, give up material well-being to pursue his spiritual path? He didn't wait until he grew old
Colonel Saunders used his welfare money & started his fried chickens business (KFC) out of necessity during the thick of depression
Not many people can "drop everything" and pursue an altogether new path unless forced to; humans are creatures of comfort
Successful people do not walk their familiar paths
A tinge of eccentricity is needed for those seeking the paths less travelled
But, the ordinary bucket list should not be delayed; time and tides wait for no Man
At mid-age, save 30% & game the balance; taking chances give you new frontiers & be a gamechanger
By the 60s, when the family has been provided for, it's "show hand" time; 70% are left with your family and spend the 30% on whatever you want. Any monies not spent are not yours
What doesn't kill you mutates and tries again; it's you vs Time as we walk towards/near the end
Be motivated & encouraged - the 2nd or next wind may be the final blowoff - legends are made before the curtains fall
Whatever Fits, just do it - he who laughs last, laughs best
Don't worry about what people say or think about you; your presence or demise has no impact on them
A Master once said "when you die, the 'many' people who come to see you off are those that truly care"
Blessed are those who live best when others live worst
Don't wait...you are as good as whatever you can & will do now 活在当下
If someone reassures you that tomorrow is better, I warranty you Today Is The Best - dead man tells no tales
