can do in life?
I have so many things i have not done in life. I have not ride in a motorbike except once but it was such a short ride like about 10 minutes but that was it. i want to experience how to travel in beautiful places like going to some near mountains riding on it. i don't want to ride on it to travel in the city of manila cause it is really polluted in the city. i want to enjoy beautiful scenery.
i have once travel by train but i was so small or young then that i could hardly remember it. i want to travel again in the future and experience to travel to the other end of the country by train and see the beautiful places of our country.
there are many things i have not done in my life. i have not travel a lot. i have not work yet or had real job in life. i have not experience how to go out often like other kids when i was kid. i was just at home mostly cause i hardly have friends. and i have not been in camping. i wish i have tried that. i had not got to beach and beautiful places with some special people except my family. wish to experience doing with set of friends who i can really enjoy my time with.

Well, the list can be endless but my financial condition will not permit me to try all of them. Of the things which I can afford, one thing I really really want to do before I die is to watch snowfall. This sounds pretty ordinary to people in the winter countries but India is a summer country and we have severe winter only in some parts of the land. So I’ll have to actually go as a tourist to those places in the middle of winter and then wait for the snow to fall…its not that there would be snowfall regularly…I have actually been to such places before but it was my bad luck that there was no snow fall during my stay.

oh. at least you have winter in some place in india. that is interesting to learn. we don't have that in philippines. anyways, it is okay with me if i don't see snow. cause i am not excited to experience one though i think it is also great to live in cold place cause the plants in cold places seem to be more beautiful. when i was young it was really my dream to see snow. but now i am old. i realize there are other many beautiful things in life to experience and see.

Sudipta! Some day, you plan to take a trip to the Himalayas in March. At that time you can see the snow in select places.It will happen one day definitely. I had also never seen snow till I was 51 but after that I was given a God given opportunity to see this in the Himalayas.

I'm only 25 years old, so there are plenty of things that I wish to do that I have not yet accomplished, and am content with the fact that I will not accomplish them for quite a few years.
Traveling is a big one! Sure, in the next however many years I have kids at home, we can do some trips and such... but I'm sure they'll never be quite involved as some of the things I'd like to do and places I'd like to see.
My husband and I are newly weds - so of course there are a lot of things we'd like to accomplish as a couple as well... and also we just bought our house this year, so there are many things about our home that we'd like to accomplish.. and while home improvements and modifications may seem silly, they are still part of our present dreams I suppose.
All in due time my friend - all in due time

yeah you are still young. and you have so many things you can achieved in life. hopefully you will get all those wish soon and get them. you have accomplished a lot though already in life. to own a house already in your young age is really amazing already.

Aw thanks! I didn't think it was that od anymore for someone my age to have a house... I thought it was more so the "normal" thing to do... but I guess its probably 50/50.
In the last 3 years I did accomplish 3 dreams - have a beautiful little girl, find an amazing man I can now call my husband, and the kick @ss house that we have! I'm a lucky lucky lady... and I'm looking to many more years of lucky dream fullfilment! :)

married couple here of your age mostly don't have or own house. so for us it is already such a big accomplish. mostly here either they will live with their parents or rent a house. that is the norm. cause it is not easy to earn money here.

I too have not done many things in life but I have no desires to do anything.I am satisfied with whatever I am doing, and I would like to improve what I am doing. But one thing I would love to see.I would love to see a peacock dance in front of me and also some parrots to come and sit on my window sill.THere are beautiful parrots in my compound but they would never come near the house;I can see them from afar.

yeah i love parrots and also peacocks specially with its wonderful color display of its feathers. who would not be amazed and want to see that display of colors from peacocks. i only saw a peacock once with open feathers. and i was amazed and was really out of breath from what i saw. it was such a beautiful sight. hmm. wish i could care for peacocks too. with parrots, i love the entertainment parrots provide when they imitate the voice of people they hear talking. they really can imitate human voice really well and i am too amazed by their skill or ability to do so.

Well, one of my dream things that I would like to do in my life is get the chance to travel to Manchester, England where I would join a certain football match and hopefully it will be Manchester United Vs Liverpool. That is one of my top targets that I wish to accomplish in the up coming years.

So many things I wish to do, like bungee jumping (or maybe not, as I'm too old now to do that!) Oops, paragliding (another dangerous sport). Maybe getting married is more appropriate. Although, it is scary, I'd like to try it, of course, being married to the right person.

getting married for me is scary. as i feel that i may end up feeling sorry marrying the wrong person. or like the love will just fade after a some time. or like the love is still there but i end up feeling a greater love for another person. it is scary to be in such situation where you love a person more when you are already married to someone else.

Just do it. That's my motto for life. If you sit about your house stewing when you're going to do these amazing things then you will never accomplish them. It's time to act. Right now. You don't have to ride a train, just walk. That's what God gave you, why not use them. Go buy a bike. Do something about your situation.
I would like to go skydiving, visit Australia again, and have children. And those things will happen as I prepare for them. I've set a goal for each and will surely accomplish them. Set realistic goals, achieve them and you'll have many stories to tell to your new friends in foreign lands and your neighborhood.

it is not a problem of riding a train or walking down the road. it is just that there is no good place to go around in my place. it may need to go a far place to see beautiful place which may involve money to do so. yeah, i think we need action. that is what i am doing right now. saving so i can travel.

Well, there are a few things I have not done, that I would really Love to do. Some of them are quite obtainable. I just need to gain the courage to want to try for them more. Some of mine would be to work in an Office where I could actually do more with a Computer, and maybe even deal with others from outside the office from time to time as well. Another one of mine would be I want to eventually be a published author, and maybe should focus more on getting my Book of short articles and my own autobiography about my life together as well, and try submitting them somewhere. But in truth, no matter what happens, it is all up to me with the help of God to see these happen.

hi,hotsummer.I believe traveling in countries by train is very intersting.
I want to learn a foreign lauguage well,sush as english.so I wish I could travel in countries where english is native lauguage,practising my oral english and learn the culture and tradition there by communicating with local people.I've been studying for a long time and I've found very early that the english used in magazines and on the internet is so different form that used in textbooks.so I believe if one want to master a foreign lauguage he or she need to soak in a community where the lauguage is used by most people in everyday life.hope I will have a chance to do so one day!and hope your wish will come true!
have a nice day!

yes i think traveling is one of the most interesting things that we can do in life. but it is quite expensive but it is really worth it to save for it so we can have some experience and gain more knowledge and also enrich our lives with good memories.
