Things you wanna do before you DIE.... email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. bodhisatya (522)   ranked 45 out of 1,033 in death1 month ago

I recently came up against this concept of "Bucket List". It the list of things you wanna do before you finally hit the bucket. I said, well why not to make 1 for myself.

There are some things I wish to do before I die, like to Scuba dive in a clear ocean bed. I would love to wander in the dark jungles of South America. I wish to conquer the Himalyas. I would love to Bungee jump from the highest point in the world. Would like to get up close to the "Redeemer" at Brazil.I would love to be on a cruise ship headed for Europe and visit as many countries there. And then there are some real crazy ideas which I won't like to mention now as you might think I am totally insane. wink

Have you ever thought about it? Do you wish to do certain things before you finally are at peace? Would you love to share it here at Mylot?

I'm not very adventurous, so I wouldn't want to do things like bungee jumping which could even hasten my end, and I've seen all the faraway places I really want to see, so my 'death list' is more intellectual.

I'd like to become well known for my writing, though not necessarily rich - recognition would be good enough for me. I'd also like to win a major quiz show. I got to the final of 'Mastermind' last year, but I'd love to be a quiz champion before I die. I'd also like to attend at least one Shakespeare convention, and deliver a paper that would be well received. I love all things Shakespeare, and to be acknowledged as an expert would be wonderful.


myLot reputation of 98/100. bodhisatya (522)   ranked 45 out of 1,033 in death  1 month ago

Wish you all the very best to win the Quiz show.

You must be a serious writer, and I wish I could have seen some of your works. Are you a novelist? I hope, that someday, soon enough I come across one of your books on the stands; reading as"the Bestseller". happy


myLot reputation of 86/100. Sandra1952 (1437)   ranked 309 out of 1,033 in death  1 month ago

I write mainly non fiction, so you won't see me on the bestseller's list just yet. I write for Helium, with the same username, if you want to look at some of my stuff. I also do a lot of freelance writing, but as it's web content mostly, I don't know where it ends up.


myLot reputation of 98/100. bodhisatya (522)   ranked 45 out of 1,033 in death  1 month ago

I will try to find your works at Helium. Is it a good site? If I don't find you there I will let you know that too.

Hello friend,

Well,well,well...all the things you have stated were really full of fun and adventures.
I would like to do same thing like you want my dear.
But,really,if i want to do things before my time comes,i want to spent it with my loved ones.
I want to let them know how much i have loved them.

I want to treat my mother to the best hotel and would pamper her like a queen.(so with my dad)
I want my brothers and sister and me live a prince and princess even for a day.
I want to spend a whole day with my kids talking and laughing and have fun and would listen to their stories.

And,i want to spent sometimes with unfortunate people out there.I want to hear their stories too,i want to feel how it is like being "homeless",orphans,beggars"
I want to feel how it is to be hungered and thirsty and dirty and treated like a dirt by the society.

I want to feel everyone cries,i want to feel how it is being rich and famous,was it really happy being one of them?..or..it is also sad like those unfortunate ones ...that,despite being treated unhumanly,still,you can find smiles on their faces when you lend a hand to them.
Whilst,those people who were living in palace,inspite of all the wealth and powers,still,don't find happiness within.

life's really uncertain..life's really wonderful and interesting...everyone want's to find each place on earth. happy


myLot reputation of 98/100. bodhisatya (522)   ranked 45 out of 1,033 in death  1 month ago

Hello friend,

You know what, your avatar resembles of an angel, but your thoughts are even more angelic! I mean it.

Good to know that you are a family person and have so much love and compassion for the destitutes of the society. Proud to be your friend.

Bodhi


myLot reputation of 100/100. jaiho2009 (1248)   ranked 790 out of 1,033 in death  1 month ago

Thanks for the mark dear.

And,i don't deserves such compliments...glory to God for He give me opportunity to extend help on my own simple ways.
I been working with charity institution for 12 years,and,till now,i can't describe the happiness within when,someone i don't know unexpectedly approaches me and say "thank you"...and when i look surprised,that someone would say "oh,can't you remember me?..i ask help from you regarding this and that,and you referred me to doctor/attorney...and,it helps me a lot and my family"...some cases like that.And,i would suddenly remember how we meet.

At least,people can remember me for my good deeds.
Have a great day always dearhappy

I thought about this a few times. I would like to become fluent in another language. I already have a fundamental basis with french but I think spanish would be more useful to me. I'd love to learn to play an instrument preferably guitar, I'd like to go on vacation out of the county i'd love to see australia


myLot reputation of 98/100. bodhisatya (522)   ranked 45 out of 1,033 in death  1 month ago

French is indeed an interesting language. It is simply an amazing language to learn. What are the list of things you wannna do in Australia? May your wishes be fulfilled!

Before I die and leave this beautiful and wonderful world, i would like to set my house in order. In a Bible account, God told Hezekiah, who was then the King of Israel to set his house in order because he will die soon. I also want to set my house in order before my death shall come. I want to help them in their walk with God, and teach them how to live in this difficult times.


myLot reputation of 98/100. bodhisatya (522)   ranked 45 out of 1,033 in death  1 month ago

Hello friend,

I know that this means something deep, "to set the house in order". But I am sorry I don't know what exactly it means. Would you explain. Look forward to hear from you.

Bodhi


myLot reputation of 91/100. learn2earn (10427)   ranked 163 out of 1,033 in death  1 month ago

There are a lot of areas in our lives that we need to set in order before our demise. One is the home for our little ones who will be left behind. Second is the finances they will use when we're gone. Third is their future. And most especially, their spiritual life and relationship with God.

happy The bucket list is such a great concept. I've done a number of the things on my own over the years, but yes, many things still remain that I would love to experience before I die:

Skydive or wind surf...what a rush that would be!
I've visited 35 of our 50 states and want to see the remaining ones
I'd love to visit several foreign countries
Write a good novel
Earn my degree
Swim in the ocean
Own a home again rather than rent
Fall in love again...for keeps
Paint on a huge canvas instead of smaller ones
See my sister again and four of my grandchildren who seem a million miles away right now

What a great discussion topic. thumbupthumbup

Hi Karen,

I sincerely hope that all your wishes come true at a super fast pace.So you paint, write and even into adventure sports. Rarely I get to know people who love both these extremes. Thanks a ton for sharing.

After I saw the movie "the Bucketlist", I actually wrote my own things to do before I die list.. It's actually quite long, cause I wrote all the things that I would want to experience.. I think only two out of the hunder is crossed out, that is to volunteer, and to have another ear piercing. lol

Next week, another one would be crossed out, cause I'm gonna have my hairs curled. LOL. It's super simple I know, but the things I wrote down are really what I want to do, as simple as they maybe. happy


myLot reputation of 98/100. bodhisatya (522)   ranked 45 out of 1,033 in death  1 month ago

You truly have made my day! It is these simple things that matters in the end I guess. We shouldn't have regrets that we couldn't do this particular thing for this "x or y" reason. i wish that every words scribbled on that piece of paper of yours is crossed out. Wish you all the very best for that.

Bodhi


myLot reputation of 97/100. Ingkingderders (1068)   ranked 20 out of 1,033 in death  1 month ago

I sure hope so too... I'm just starting to really try proactively to do the things I wrote down, and not just wait for the opportunity.. I make the opportunity happen. thumbup

have a great day! happy
