I have been traveling a bit lately, and have had some time to read. I read this book called Into Thin Air, its about an expedition to Everest that ended poorly. It got me to thinking about goals. Some folks like to list things they want to do -loose 100 pounds, read the complete works of Leo Tolstoy, or learn to speak Chinese. Some folks may also have some things they would like to do - grow a Mohawk, get a tattoo - you get it. So as I was reading this book I thought I never want to climb Everest and it got me thinking about some sort of reverse goals, and I was wondering why people don't keep a list of things they don't want to do. That way if they get a wild hair and can't remember that they did not want to climb Mt. Everest, they wont spend 60k to do so. So here are a few of the things I don't want to do.
- Climb Everest
- Parachute
- Bungee Jump
- Play Professional Soccer
- Animate a Pixar film
- Race in the Iditerod
- Eat Dorian Fruit
- Hike Across Cambodia
- Become a Gynaecologist/Proctologist/Podiatrist/Dentist
- Sleep in a snow cave
- Swim across the English Channel
There are more I am sure but I am having hard time deciding.... What are some of yours?
