Blog 2: Life Lists



John Goddard is the man who lived his life by the motto: "To dare is to do ... to fear is to fail."


Life List





One rainy afternoon, an inspired 15-year old boy named John Goddard sat down at his kitchen table in Los Angeles and wrote three words at the top of a yellow pad, "My Life List." Under that heading he wrote down 127 goals. These were not simple or easy goals. They included climbing the world's major mountains, exploring from source to mouth the longest rivers of the world, piloting the world's fastest aircraft, running a mile in five minutes and reading the entire Encyclopedia Britannica.

Goddard sat down and made a life list. What do you think about his experience? What did he make you think about? Or what is sticking with you from his thoughts about his list? Start a life list... what is on that list?
