Countdown

[Villager]

No, not the legendary late-afternoon quiz show (http://www.channel4.co.uk/entertainment/tv/showcards/C/countdown.html) starring perhaps TV's most enduring personality, Richard Whitely (http://www.guydowman.com/News/RichardWhitely.shtml).

What I mean is that with each passing day we each come closer to death. Now, whether you believe in some form of afterlife or not, that death means the end of this life. Bearing this in mind:


What do you see as the things that you absolutely must do/achieve before you die?
Are you working as hard as you could be to do/achieve them?
Do you think you "waste" much time, that you will perhaps later regret?

Alright you!!! Are you not telling us something??:confused:

When I was younger, I felt I had to meet all my objectives I made to my self to have that feeling that my life was worth something when I died. I worked to hard to enjoy just being alive. Now that I am a little older, I am just grateful for each day that I and the ones I love are alive to enjoy another day.

I waste time everyday, I don't care anymore why should I??

[Redallnite]

I don't know you tell me... kinda morbid lately??

[Villager]

Ahhhhh.

Well you see, I seem to understand depressing things better than others (just check out my poetry!!), and so they occupy my thoughts a lot.

1. I absolutely must enjoy my life and enjoy the people in it. Not take anyone for granted, and let them know they are specail.

2. Yes.

3. No. as long as I am breathing I am not wasting time.

When i was younger it was to get married and have kids one day...all i wanted. Now it is enjoying life...doing what i want to do, spending time with family and friends.

Are you working as hard as you could be to do/achieve them?

yes, best i can.

Do you think you "waste" much time, that you will perhaps later regret?

1. When I was younger I wanted desperately to believe in some form of reincarnation where I could come back with the knowledge of my previous lives, so that I could eventually experience EVERYthing. But, alas. Now it's to surround myself with friends and other loved ones, create a family environment. Before I die, I want to find my niche. I want to know if I can make it in the entertainment industry, be it with music, dance or acting (preferably all three). I'd like to write-novels, news articles, whatever. I want to live in New York...I want to go back and live in San Francisco. I want to travel around Europe...living someplace just long enough to begin to understand the ins and outs of the language and city...to have a favorite coffee shop I always go to and always flirt with the man at the kiosk on the corner...then move on to a new place. I'd like to be a researcher (neurology), I want to be a lawyer, I want to be a journalist, I want to do fashion design, I want to be an expert at computer graphics and animation, I want to record a few cds with a band...I'd LOVE to be in a band. There's too much I want to do before I die, but I'm going to squeeze in as much as I can. Besides "It's the journey, not the destination". :)

2. I work very hard to achieve my goals. The only problem is getting them done all at once is impossible. I'm trying to spread them out in a manner that still allows me time to sit back and enjoy things.

3. I waste some time...but I enjoy it, so it really hasn't been wasted. Skipping class from time to time to attend other lectures or to go out to coffee with friends is well worth the time needed to make up the class.

1. None
2. Absolutely yes
3. 100% or close to with no regrets

What do you see as the things that you absolutely must do/achieve before you die?

Love and happiness

Are you working as hard as you could be to do/achieve them?

No.

Do you think you "waste" much time, that you will perhaps later regret?

Yes. I know that I have dragged my feet, and stayed in unhealthy relationships instead of breaking out and beginning my search again.
