I don't think we've done this in a while, so

Well, I've finished 2 of my big goals already (i.e. become MSc in medicine, become an MD), but there's plenty left to attain.

- Finish my anesthesiology specialisation
- Become substantially wealthy with helping patients
- Travel to lots of countries (still a lot to visit)
- Learn to play the guitar and learn to draw/paint

you became a doctor to become wealthy ?

Post by **saturn** » Mon Jun 06, 2005 2:29 pm

of course not, if you have brains and want big money fast you'd better do something else

I see nothing wrong with getting proper compensation for what I'm going to do, especially after all those years of studying and training.

Buy a russian tank (preferably a t-72) and have it in my garden, just for fun.

Work in the film industry

Live in Finland / Sweden

Bring up a child at some point.

Mum does Tai Chi (or rather, she used to do) and it's not all it's cracked up to be, it's far too male bias and I think it also seems a little pretentious for Westerners to practise it. Both mum and myself (I'm slowly learning) prefer Tarrot.

Post by **Nightshade** » Mon Jun 06, 2005 3:01 pm

Why is it pretentious for Westerners to practice Tai Chi? How can a form of exercise be "too male"? Does she feel the same about yoga?

Well, the most important goal of mine is to meet celebreties. I really wanna have a chat with Jack Bauer and the gang from That 70s Show. I wanna meet Ellen Muth and the people who were in Dead Like Me. And lots of other TV stars from the series I like.

What is with everyone wanting to write a book?

Post by **+JuggerNaut+** » Mon Jun 06, 2005 5:53 pm

in no particular order:

travel more (only been to Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Greece, Italy, Turkey, and Spain. so much more to see)

loosen up on things that i think are a big deal, but in the bigger scope of things, they aren't.

schedule more time to volunteer. right now it's only twice a month.

grow big enough balls to move to another country.

buy a second house within 5 years.

learn to sailboard and skydive.

I'm with you on this one. With the degrees I'm pursuing, I think that I have a good shot at getting hired on with ABB Robotics in Sweden. Now I would absolutely love that, and I think my wife would be cool with it, but my mom would shit a blue bean if I moved to another continent.

She'll get over it.

BTW....in Sweden weed is "really" illegal....meaning severe penalties for what I'd consider a minor offense. And Sweden just made it illegal for people to smoke cigarettes anywhere but your home....pretty much.

It's a nice place and the people are great. Where's the job? If it's Malmo I'll cross the strait and kick you in the sack with a clown shoe.

Yeah my dreams right now are in flux. I just live day to day. I'm thinking of several things though.

One is to just retire somehwere tropical and fuck the world.

The other is to go back to university and go into computer programing.

decisions...

Post by **GONNAFISTYA** » Mon Jun 06, 2005 7:25 pm

lol

You'll probably be stabbed in a back alley next month so don't bother making plans.

You'll probably be the same loser in 20 years....selling 3 grams a night and sharking pool cause the phone job didn't want 40 year old convicted pedophiles. :lol:

I can only emphatically tell you - it is.

My only ambition really is to make sure I'm never poor. I don't neccessarily want to be rich, I just want to remain independant and live whatever comes my way.

And I REALLY want to skydive again. Me and my friends plan on making it a yearly event at least. It's true what they say - do it once and you're hooked.

Goals At 23 (1998):
Finish the PhD program I was in and continue doing breast cancer research.
Write or work on biology textbooks.
Write a funded grant.
Get married.
Bench 335 lbs at 190 lbs bodyweight. (silly goal, but at the time I was still working out all the time - only got to 305-310).
Have kids.
Learn a form of martial arts.
Get my golf handicap below 1.

At 15 days shy of 30 (2005):
Go back and finish the PhD I didn't finish.
Continue to write and work on textbooks - eventually writing my own.
Write another funded grant someday.
Continue working out and staying in shape.
Have kids.
Avoid divorce.
Get better at martial arts - learn a true form of them as opposed to bits and pieces from many.
Get my golf handicap BACK to around 2 or 3.
Buy property and build our own house.
Start racing waverunners.
Put off my next neck surgery for as long as possible.
Find a recliner that I can grow old with.

Funny how some priorities change over time..heh.

No shit. My jump master had over 1500 jumps. He had a huge grey beard and was older than Moses but jumped as often as he could.

I haven't gone in a while. I think I'll do it this summer.
