If there is one thing that all humans have in common it
is the fact that all will eventually reach the end of the line and die. Another
aspect in common is that all have things to do before passing on. This would be
referred to as a bucket list. Some strive for greatness on their lists while
others, like myself, want only to make a difference in the world and have a
minute bit of fun along the way before dying.
My bucket list is mostly about my desire to leave a mark
before I die. The top pick for my bucket list is to make a difference in the
world by joining Doctors without Borders and saving lives in developing
countries.
Item number two would be to start a family and live out
the American dream with them. Number three on the list is for my future wife and I to
travel and see the Great Wonders of the world. Number four would be for me to make enough money to live
comfortably and not to want for anything.
Bucket lists fulfill the dreams of their makers. Such lists
give people a sense of accomplishment so they can realize that they have lived
a full and happy life. I can personally vouch for that view. My list should
make me feel better about dying by testifying that I have left a mark on
society and left a happy family in my wake. That is the most I could ask for,
to leave this world in a little better shape than I found it.
