Have you done all that you want to do with your life? Have you challenges left to conquer?

This article has some ideas for the explorer in you.

"Parachuting from space to Earth" sounds cool. "Climbing in the beautiful mountains of the Antarctic Peninsula" is within reach.

For me, I think I'd still like to re/learn another language, for one.

Wow, good site! I also enjoyed their GREATEST CARTOON CHARACTERS OF ALL TIME section also. Although parachuting to Earth from space does sound tempting, the one challenge that I would love to conquer in my life is to have a hit album selling world wide and touring. That's all, just one album then I would retire and just produce music for other artists.

I'm also learning Portuguese because where I train, 90% of the people speak that language. But the real reason I want to know it is to see if any one is talking about me, and to talk to some Brazillian chicks. Damn this language barrier!!!!!!!!! :biggrin:

i'm 21. i hope i still have some challenges left to conquer. grad school is a start. shit with my parents also. i would also love to get much better at cartoon drawing, colouring and inking, finish my website, and learning javascript, databasing and other fun computer things. none of this parachuting bullshit -- i'm not that suicidal.

edit: although, i think visiting the deepest parts of the ocean and checking out deep sea marine biology would be friggin' awesome. i would LOVE to do that.

Travel across Africa, and not just the populated areas. Get married and have some little Terrences running around. Solve a dilemma that has plagued people for years, and do it successfully.

How do you make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without having to use two pieces of silverware, or not contaminating either?

How about being truly happy with yourself and your life in general? That's the only challenge I'm interested in conquering right now.

Says it's something like: The revolution not yet succeeds comrade □□diligently

What the fuck did it miss!?

Says it's this: The revolution not yet succeeds, comrade still needs diligently

Who did the better translation?

My guess, then, is that the translation is: The revolution has not yet succeeded, diligence comrades

Since I set unbelievably high and unattainable goals for myself I'll never be out of challenges to pursue. Currently on my agenda of *nearly* impossible tasks:

1) Become the Secretary General of the UN.
2) Expand my family's holdings to the point that we'll be the largest shipping company in the world.
3) Get into the energy business.

As for more modest undertakings:

1) Get a first class honours LLB
2) Get a LLM at Harvard or Yale
3) Work at UN as a legal affairs or human rights officer


I love a good challenge! It's like an exciting game. :smile:
