I remember having a list of things I wanted to achieve when I was younger. Let's see:

- Win the nobel prize. (not yet)

- Write a book. (done)

- Travel the world (not totally done, but I live in South America now)

- Be Time magazine's man of the year (it's a bit of a cop-out, but done: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1569514,00....)

- Have my face on a stamp (not done, but that's easy these days)

Looking back, I was probably lacking ambition there, too focused on achievements that display what others think of me. Maybe I should make a new list.
