Life lists, life goals
A talk show host has been asking guests this question.
Any goal setters in the pub? Did you set goals at a early age? For parents do you encourage your children to think about the blue sky of opportunity available to them?
Some common things on lists are places to visit, skills to learn (a degree, musical instrument, languages), owning something in particular whether it be a certain car or house or other. For many younger folks it is about having children, getting married.

I don't know if I had a "goal" growing up. I knew I was expected to be a self sufficent member of society that also gives back. And I raised my kids with that same ideal.
My son decide at age 12 that he wanted to be an aircraft mechanic. If the ship ever gets out of drydock, he may get that chance!
My other son thinks he may want to do something with animals, and has been getting volunteer hours along that line.

My goal was to get the hell out of Norn Iron. A lot of people have that goal. It wasn't really funny, either.Denny wrote:My goal was moving away...
Now my goals are to survive as long as possible,
to remember a little happiness every day,
and to help people where and when I can.
(A subsidiary goal is to learn a few more hornpipes on the whistle.)

I tend to be a "follow your muse" kind of guy, but I also tend to make decisions early and hold to them steadfastly. (Don't worry, I can't reconcile those, either.) At any rate, I've pretty much got my educational goals planned and in mind, and I'm sort of trusting that I'll know what to do with the rest as it comes. It's working out, so far.
oh Lana Turner we love you get up

My life goals are to be happy and nice to other people. I have other specific goals (not many), but they're really beside life rather than life itself.
