This year I will get 38 years old. OLD! This tough insight hit me as I was watching sports (soccer, cycling, hockey and others) these days. The commentators spoke of „old stagers“ when they talked about 32 years old players. OMG, I thought. This guy is six years younger than I am and is called an „old stager“. And all of sudden I got aware that time is ticking. So I decided to write a bucket list, i. e. a list of things I want to do in this life which hopefully lasts for another 50 years. Here it is:
- Running a mile (or two) with the Olympic torch
- Writing an important book (no scrap, no fiction)
- Finding my dream woman and make her happy (leave comment if you feel addressed)
- Exploring the Great Barrier Reef
- Pressing 120 kg (264 pounds) on the bench
- Inventing something that makes other people’s life easier (and my banking account bursting 😉 )
- Visiting all continents (exept Antarctica)
- Reading the bible (yes, the whole bible from Genesis 1,1 to Revelation 22,21 including the apocrypha)
- Founding an enterprise (just a small one, because big firms would keep me too busy) – okay this not mandatory
- Eating a 1-pound-box of Beluga-Caviar (costs about 5’000 $)
- Winning the Nobel Prize in literature (very tough challenge, but fits with number two)
- Solving the (3n+1)-problem (also known as „Collatz problem“)
… time is running … 50 years left … so let’s start out, old stager!
Gut
