This is a list where you will find out all about me and all of the things I will strive to undertake and eventually accomplish.<\/p>\n
You might wonder why this is called a “Bucket List”? Fair, enough. I had asked the same question before and here<\/a> is what Urban Dictionary<\/a> says. Briefly it comes from the term “kicked the bucket”.<\/p>\n There is also a movie called The Bucket List<\/a> starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. Don’t you worry, I am not going to spill the beans, but I might as well quote IMDB regarding the plot summary: “Two terminally ill men escape from a cancer ward and head off on a road trip with a wish list of to-dos before they die”. It is all about wishes and ToDos, hence the name. In case you happen to have a chance to watch, just go for it.<\/p>\n Since the moment I decided that I had to have a bucket list, I have done many Google searches, visited several websites and blogs, talked to people.\u00a0I have seen several different ways of making use of bucket lists. Some seem to write the items in stone and not willing to change any details or even add any additional items at all. Some put a deadline and work on the list as if it were a project. Some do focus on the categorization, meaning \u00a0they solely concentrate on particular subjects such as, travelling, sports, career etc.<\/p>\n My list will be quite flexible, that is what I know for sure. This is called a bucket list, eh, so why should I put a deadline? It simply doesn’t make any sense. Well, sure it would help keeping the focus and also kill any potential procrastination by all means. But I have always been quite disciplined and I know I am going to attempt undertaking the items, provided that the conditions are mature. Thus, NO<\/strong> deadline<\/span>.<\/p>\n Considering this is and will be a long running list, I am NOT<\/strong> writing the items in stone either<\/span>. As of now (01 September 2011), the list is still raw. I will always be looking for ways to improve\/amend the list and the items to reflect the changes in my desires, passions matching the latest trends, technologies, working & living conditions etc. Hence any given moment, the list should be up-to-date and shall comprehensively summarize my ambitions.<\/span><\/p>\n It is possible you might come across a couple of items -just a couple, not many- which were actually accomplished before the publishing of this bucket list. It may sound a little contradictory to the context, however I had to have these items, as they had already been in my wish list for quite a while and I was lucky enough to finish them off earlier.<\/p>\n One final thing, you will also notice some items are relatively and in some cases quite “easier” to accomplish when compared to the others. That was unfortunately inevitable. I could of course spend time on balancing the items more equally, however that would have caused unnecessary pain. But the bucket list should be all about Fun! And since there is no official standards or guidelines to follow, this is what I am going for!<\/p>\n Bucket List Facts<\/strong><\/p>\n Publish date<\/span>: 01 September 2011 # of total items<\/span>: 103 (on the publish date), 103 (current) Before closing let me also mention a couple of sites and blogs which have influenced me throughout the Bucket List journey thus far.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n Bu yaz\u0131 toplamda 0, bug\u00fcn ise 0 kez g\u00f6r\u00fcnt\u00fclenmi\u015f.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is a list where you will find out all about me and all of the things I will strive to undertake and eventually accomplish.
