Actually, the author is turning 40 :) But, he is single, doesn't have kids, and has done the travel, nightclubs, sex with many women thing, so using that experience. If one thinks about it, none of us know the final day, we just live like it's far away in never never land. In a previous career, I worked in a level one trauma ER, and in four years, watched hundreds, if not close to a thousand, people die. Makes one think. None of those people woke up that morning, got ready for work, and got in their cars thinking this'd be their last day. So that thought went into this as well. It was an off the head list, more of how I would live, and more importantly, how I should live whether I have 35 days or 70 years left. I'm sure if I was to do the exercise next year, there'd be new items, some from current list might go. But that's the beauty of life. We grow, we change, we evolve. It is a good exercise for anyone to do, regardless of age and impending birthdays. I highly recommend it. |
