Who am I? Where am I going? These two short, but infinitely deep, questions are essential for planning your life. Whether you can answer them now doesn’t really matter. Rather, it is confronting these meaningful questions over and over that gives meaning to your own life. Let\u2019s be honest, who can really adamantly answer these questions?

Those who want to try to categorize their life time and again, making it measurable, even if this would be 100 percent possible, are given an almost infinite amount of aids or values: job, salary, prestige, family planning, and dreams.

The beauty of the bucket list: No one can discourage you. There is absolutely nothing to shake you\u2014no right, no wrong, and no second opinion.

A wonderful example of a bucket list comes from the movie The Bucket List, starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson, in which the two aging, and terminally ill, men create their own list, which, besides tangible destinations, also contains many life metaphors.
