This isa list of the things I want to do before I die. I will understand myself if I don't make all happen, however, I will always try hard to make all happen.

The list is prone to change, that is it will benamed as Things To Do Before I Die II, III, and so on. However, the change implies addition of goals, and never truncating any of the goals already listed.

This is one of my first step to define my dream more concretely, and thus a basic process of shaping my life according to my will while determining more concretely the reason for my existence.
