Lifetime Goals?

[The Frymarker]

I was just pondering this. I remembered some of my goals when I was a child. I have completed 3 out of 15. Some are new because life changes, some are rather silly but it becomes one of those issues where you just want to say you did it.All of them are attainable it is just a matter of time I guess.


Here are mine, anyone else have some interesting ones?

1.Win a major art award: Done won best in show 4 times.

2.Go to art school: Done went to RISD

3.Get married and have children: Done

4.Build a doll house for my daughter

5.Sculpt a carousel horse

6.Design a jewelry line with my father

7.Play paintball with the Femme Fatales

8.Drive a race car

9.Take my kids on a camping trip

10.Make my own wine

11.Go on vacation alone with my husband

12.Go to Jim Henson Studios, my original goal was to meet
Jim Henson, however he passed away before I had the chance.

13.Make sure my husband accomplishes his goal of flying a
plane

14.Make sure I do my best to put my children through college

15.Attend each one of the Visa Triple Crown Races

[GT]

my goals change from time to time based on where I am at in my personal/proff. life.

Right now my plans for the next five years, in no order.

1. Knock out first MS
2. Get one cert
3. start a small paintball biz
4. Start 2nd ms/phd
5. turbo miata or buy M3


not as cool as yours but hey, there still goals:D

[The Frymarker]

There's nothing wrong with your goals they are cool, also!

It just makes you think about them and life whether or not your commited to accomplishing them:D

[jdev]

1) learn to play piano

2) go back go school and get some sort of degree in the IT field.

3) become RHSE certified

3) become MCSE certified

4) become CCNP certified.

5) meet jim carrey

6) start a hotrod/engine performance shop/garage with my brother

7) start a family, not now as I am still young, but when i get a little older.

my goals, for what they are worth and in no particular order.

[-Carnifex-]

1. Don't get stabbed.

[1stdeadeye]

1) Rule the world: Working on it!;)

2) Be a better person: Blew it off!:D

Hey Frymarker,

Some of those are easy:
For the race car, most nascar tracks offer that experience for a few hundred bucks.

For the flying hubby, you can buy him an introductory lesson from a small airport flight school. My wife bought me one for aroung $125.00. I refused to take it because I will not go up in one of those flying death traps!

I got a longgg way to go :(

someone on the boards here as a porsche for sale.. i saw it in thier sig ;)

Yeah they are when I was 15 I started coming up with a few of them. Now I think that it is better to have goal that are attainable then goals that I know I'll never achieve or have any desire to do, such as climb Mt. Everest.

That way I can achieve them easier and I don't have to be depressed about not accomplishing them.

I know about the Nascar, I just have to get there. My hubby and the flight school, he wants to fly a fighter jet, and the only school that comes close is a school in Boston for around $1200 for the day.

Maybe for his 40th birthday.

I think the hardest goal on there is sending my children through college, being that college will be quite expensive when they want to go, I plan on helping them in every aspect to get great scholarships.

See what corporate sponsering does? Makes us add their name before the name of events, like the Triple Crown. :p This year's would've been good, too bad Funny Cide didn't win the Triple Crown though.

I'll have to think of my goals and post them later.

[The Frymarker]

I know huh, I didn't even think about it until you said it.

Yes funny Cide would have been nice, but some where in the back of my mind I knew it was a long shot. Personally I was rooting for Scrimshaw....such a beautiful horse.

I know you're a programmer, but what API's are you experienced in? Are you willing to relocate? Interested in game development?

I was trying to get another member on here an internship, but that sort of fell through because it doesn't seem like there's much of a priority on internships at the moment. However, we're always looking for talented programmers, designers, and artists here where I work.

[who_311]

Totally, own a 1952 Gibson Les Paul Standard, with the heritage sunburst, with ORIGINAL PAF pickups. It cant have ANY checking of any kind, needs pull shaft tone knobs, and the FATTEST(not all that hard with a gibson :D). Well, i have two les pauls, a 1982 and a 1998. That is like 27 years old together :), i am getting there.

Ohh yeah, own my own record store or guitar store.

Well... we just didn't work... it's been an emotional roller-coaster ride for the both of us. For a while I thought we had a good thing going, but I think we're just too different - which isn't necessarily good or bad, but in our particular situation, this difference has been a problem. We've mutually decided, in good terms, that it's best to go our separate ways. So, I guess I have a hole to fill... and I hope one day I find what I'm looking for.

Thank you for the offer. Although I like to program, I'm not very interested in doing it as a 9-5 job... I'd be much happier doing networking stuff.

I really appreciate the offer though, thanks again!

I should be able to accomplish my goal of wine making soon.

I got on line and the was a site where I could buy the correct instruments for making my own wine and bottling it.

So in a few months when the baby is born and I can have a glass it should have 3 months to mature.

I'll let you know how it turns out

:D
