I've heard that one of the keys to success is a todo list. This is mine, in no particular order:
Travel to South America
Travel to Antarctica (then I'll have bagged all seven continents)
Learn to play guitar
Learn to speak another language fluently (French preferred)
See a leopard and black rhino in The Mara
Create a trust fund to help educate more teachers and engineers that want to protect the environment
Get a better profile picture for Facebook
Have dinner with Sarah in that little cafe in Cassis on the Mediterranean coast of France enjoying a glass of wine as the Sun is setting
Write and publish a book
Publish a photo book of my own pictures (yes a coffee table book)
More blog posts for Deeloggee and Subv3rsicon (and better publicized)
First acquire hospital maternity equipment here in the States and second get it successfully to the Aitong health clinic in Kenya to save the lives of more mothers and their babies
Same for dental equipment. Right now their only treatment is to pull teeth.
Edit and print my backlog of "art" photos from the last twelve months
Use my meager software hacking skills to do something that makes the world a better place instead of just consuming resources
Take a wheel pottery class
Build shelves in the garage
My understanding of physics is pretty bad, need to improve it
Write a blog post
