Do you guys set Goals? I know this guy personally...

09-19-2009, 09:59 PM

I wish I could accomplish 20% from his list in my lifetime.
20 minutes with him and you will feel like you haven't accomplished nothing.

John Goddard is most known for his amazing ?Life List? of accomplishments. At the age of fifteen John Goddard listed 127 goals he wished to experience or achieve in his lifetime. The list is impressive and audacious, but the results have been truly incredible.

Holy crap on a cross.

Missed the dragons by 20 miles and a broken boat, ouch.
After reading all I had already, when I saw Ham radio operator unchecked I had an akward moment. Figured that one would of been a no brainer, fairly easy, and possibly a very good idea with all of his other adventures.

Lets hope he does not put to much pressure on his kids. It would be like saying "I'm board, there is nothing to do" would be like cursing.

When you're married with two children, a mortgage and workin' two jobs - goals tend to be rather different.

So true, that's what I asked him. I said, when did you see your family and how did you afford all these Ventures. He said he worked hard, saved money and just made them happen.

Except for his "accomplish" list, those are basically just travelling.
Of the others, you could do at least one a day.

Nice list... I don't have a list written out, but I have list... I have covered most of everything I have wanted to do, up to this point.

A few skills I'm waiting to close, like fencing, but I'm in no rush.

My world travel / living adventures starts in roughly 2 years. We have two boys and plan on doing it with them.

The final goal is to pay for this adventure while living the adventure.

1-72 is just traveling and thats fucking easy.
Very few of those are impressive imo, if you cut out watching tv and other useless shit you could learn/do all that easily.
Making a list seems less fun than just going out and doing what you find interesting at that moment.

He knew what he wanted to accomplish as a kid then just stuck to them. I'm like you. If I want to get up and go somewhere at that moment, I just make it happen. But if you see some of the places he's been. You need to plan them. I read his book, pretty amazing with some of the Villages he has stayed at and how he barely survived through some of his journeys.

It's absolutely 100% truth: If you do just two things, you will succeed. Every self-help guru out there (and there are some fantastic ones) tells the same message, just presented in slightly differant ways. The two things:

1. Mental focus
2. Consistent action

Both take a lot of work and sometimes a person doesn't do these things in tandem until their back is against the wall, like me. LOL I went from knowing ZERO about the Internet, HTML or anything 3 years ago to having my own network now, with over 16 websites I built by hand. It's amazing to me still, to slow down for a second and look back on what a person of so-so intelligence (me) can do if they just FOCUS and perform CONSISTENT (and never-ending) ACTION.

Set a Goal beforehand, and re-adjust while on the journey? Recipe for a successful, enjoyable life. Goals rock.

You might be able to classify exploring as "just traveling" but exploring the Nile, or the Congo, or the Amazon I would interpret as a little more than hitting Lake Havasu on Spring Break to check the Colorado River off the list.

Maybe not, but to climb all those mountains? Your definition of "just traveling" and mine are very different.

I had to Google this guy, found this on wiki:

1951 became the first man to navigate the entire length of the Nile in a kayak

That is a little more than just travel. He came from money. No other way unless he was printing it himself.

I have a friend of mine that is like this. He is a retired fire fighter (but still works when wild fires are in the area), retired college professor, teaches high school, has eight kids, works as a carpenter, backhoe driver on weekends... Certified EMT. The list goes on...

There is nothing this guy cannot do... He also doesn't drink or smoke...

Basically if it isn't in the bible or the Good Farmer's Almanac he doesn't do it.

WOW that's impressive and inspiring!

I have a list of places I'd like to travel to, and I am always adding to the list. I have done almost everything in the USA I've wanted to do except the Redwood Forest and the Grand Canyon but never been abroad yet!

I'm also a compulsive list maker and when I go through my old notebooks I find tons of "1 year, 5 year and 10 year goals" type of lists.. it's funny how what I considered to be important just a few years ago now aren't a big deal (but surprisingly, I had accomplished most of the goals I had set for myself, in a round about way!)

Right now my website is almost nearing a year old, and i am really unsure what kind of specific goals to set for my site as far as # of members, affiliates, $ made or traffic is concerned, because I'm not sure who I should be comparing my site to and who's advice I can trust to be 100% accurate (everyone's site is making tons of $ first month out of the gate and "converting like mad!" right?)
So of course I have GOALS for my site for the next couple of years, such as always gaining members month to month, keeping way ahead of my content, keeping on top of member interaction, stuff like that.. but as far as specific #'s are concerned, not so much

Yeah, I would say it's a little more than travel. But no, he didn't come from Money.

The list is probably BS. He wrote it over the years, but certainly not when he was 15 and out of the blue.
Either he did not write it when he was 15, or he spent weeks doing research.
There is no way ANY 15 year old would know who all of these people are "Shakespeare, Plato, Aristotle, Dickens, Thoreau, Rousseau, Conrad, Hemingway, Twain, Burroughs, Talmage, Tolstoi, Longfellow, Keats, Poe, Bacon, Whittier, and Emerson, Bach, Beethoven, Debussy, Ibert, Mendelssohn, Lalo, Liszt, Rimski-Korsakov, Respighi, Rachmaninoff, Paganini, Stravinsky, Toch, Tschaikosvsky, Verdi" or know about all those lakes, rivers, and mountains he listed.

Does anyone look down here?

Unless you have accomplished more then he did, give the guy some credit. 15 or not, still a good list.
