My top 5 aspirations from life (outside 1 to 1 personal relationships)

Ø Possess extreme physical fitness – fitter at 40 than at 35 and even fitter at 45 than at 40; sustain fitness of age 45 till the end; be able to spend an average of 10% of my waking hours every year enjoying nature – run, hikes, swim, read, sports, photography, cross-country skiing, lazing and other activities that I have not yet thought of

Ø Play a role in building long lasting capabilities for a country, a society, an institution or an organization, preferably for non monetary benefits.

Ø Increase my understanding of the world’s people – travel all habitable continents; understand well the history, social trends, economics & politics of atleast 25 countries; savour all distinctly different cuisine; work in as many countries as possible; have friends in different parts of the world; continuously remove ignorance about different people.

Ø Have 3 homes (or access to) by age 50 – a condo in Canada, a glass and wood (small) house in a hill based location and a place near the sea; be able to easily travel between these.

Ø Have 5 completely trustworthy friends and/or family members who I can share information and discuss ideas freely with and get feedback from.
