What is the one thing that you want to do in your lifetime? The one thing that when you achieve you will feel that your life on earth meant something. It could be anything. It could either be for yourself,or beneficial to others That one thing which will keep you content for life Well for me I love to help people.So I will always try and be helpful to other,cuz if by doing so that person is happy,then it means alot to me.Anyways the world is filled with grief,so this would be my contribution

hi sidwell! one i want to do in my lifetime is build a school for the poor children and build a house, big enough to accommodate the homeless in the street especially the children. if only i am rich, then i might have been able to do that. my heart just aches for those homeless children abandoned by their parents. and also to those children who are forced to work instead of going to school. they are just so unfortunate. as for myself, one thing i want to do within my lifetime is to visit Japan and probably live there for a few months or years, just enough time to experience how it is live there. to experience their traditions and cultures and to visit all the provinces and buy all kinds of souvenirs and eat all kinds of delicacies. ^__^ i am just a big fan of Japanese culture.

Oh wow secretbear!!Very noble thoughts from you.Setting up a school for the homeless,and educating them is a very nice deed.Yes it is sad,that why parents abandon their kids once they give birth to them.One thing i cannot understand is why such people want to have kids,when they are not in a position to give them a good life.Why simply bring the child into this world and make the child suffer. Well as for your other wish,hope you get to see Japan soon.Just for my knowledge,what language do you phillinos speak?

that's the most annoying thing. poor people continue to make babies even if they don't the capability to raise them well. some would even abort the baby and throw them away! ugh. despicable. our language is Filipino but it is composed of a lot of dialects. the most widely spoken dialect is Tagalog which is my dialect.

There are many things sidwell but i will outline the selfish ones for now! I want to end up owning my own tropical island for one..... And I would also like to one day get my sky diving licence! I did a tandem jump many years ago and meant to do the training but was distracted by other things in life instead. I awlays wish I had done it so hope to go back and do it one day. As for the island? Isolated, my own private beaches..... Perfect!

I would have liked to have written a book, not necessarily a best seller but one of those self help books, helping other people to overcome mental abuse, I have been in two abusive relationships and as a man I feel there is not enough books out there geared towards men in abusive relationships, it's nearly always women that are in abusive relationships and not men, so if I could write my story and even if I could help just one person out there then I would feel I have achieved a great deal. I think when you experience something yourself you can help others cope too.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune with relationships.Yes you are right.There are hardly any books for men who seek help in this manner.Well that might be cuz majority of the abusive relationships women are the victims,so that might be the reason for lesser books and help.It would be really kind and helpful of you to help such males who undergo such trauma and stress.Nice to see this response from you.Hope you write and get your book published one day.

Being a soppy romantic at heart, i'd just want to find someone who loves me and who I love in return. If I had that I think i'd die happy.

What's the matter buddy??Any bad experience that made you say that?Do not worry about this.You will definitely find someone,or even better someone will find you.I am sure that you are a very loving person,and there are many people out there who are willing t reciprocate this.So cheer up as your name aptly suggests!

Yes lots of unrequited love in my life. But I am only 21 so I guess I have time on my side. I shall try to remain positive and assume it shall happen eventually.
