Bucket List - When do one start making one?

... upon reaching a cross-road in life, or upon news of untimely deaths, or upon hitting MIDLIFE CRISIS!!!


In case you don't know what's a bucket list, it's a list that forms in the back of your mind of things that you wanna do - but have yet to do - before you KICK THE BUCKET!  So in fact, the list is there all the time!!
  
For some "want-it-ALL" people, the list just keeps growing and growing.  It might take a year's supply of toilet paper to contain such a list.  But are you sure you will regret not accomplishing every single item on that long list, as you draw your last breath on your deathbed?  MAN, that will have to be some very l-o-n-g last breath.


For others who seriously wanna 'house keep' that list to a manageable number of items - say enough to fit the number of fingers on your right hand (or left hand for lefties) - will spend time to soul search, and will start asking questions like:


1) What matters to me?


2) Do I even matter in this world?


3) What's the matter with you?  What's keeping you in the toilet forever!?  


The 3rd one is not your mind thinking out loud, but your family members screaming at you for occupying the only family toilet as you soul-search.


It's never too late to start (maybe it is too late when you are about to kick the bucket) - by first recording that list SOMEWHERE, such as
- in your diary
- on Facebook for all friends to read
- in your blog for the whole world to read
- as a video posting on Youtube for the whole world to watch


whatever and however, just start putting it somewhere ...

tic toc ... tic toc ... tic toc ... clock is ticking ... (to be continued)
