1. Become a Parent. You owe it to your mother for all the hardship you put her through, and you will learn more when you try to help your children with their homework than you ever learned in school.
2. Become a Grandparent. After all, revenge is sweetest served by grandchildren.
3. Ride a motorcycle. Just so you can say you did. Riding a Harley earns bonus points.
4. Visit a foreign country. Not only will it give you perspective about how the world sees your people, you will begin to understand why they do some of those strange things they do.
5. Start a new family tradition. The stranger, the better. You get bonus points if your tradition results in a winning America’s Funniest Video.
6. Volunteer for a charitable event. It will open your eyes to a different side of the railroad tracks from where you live, and if you pick a real good charity, you will being to understand that, no matter how badly you suffer in your particular situation, someone somewhere actually has it worse.
7. Learn a handcraft. It doesn’t matter what the craft is, but if you learn well, you can put your results on ebay and see what value the “real world” puts on it.
8. Participate in a fundraiser. That way you will understand why 80% of the crowd consistently does 20% of the work.
9. Plan and organize a major family event. It is amazing what you will learn doing this.
10. Teach one other person something significant.
11. Ride a roller coaster.
12. Visit with a critically ill or dying person.
13. Take a college (or community education) course. A GED does not count because you already have that or a high school diploma. If not, get one and it is still not on your bucket list. Sorry.
14. Play a game with someone else’s kid. You might even realize they aren’t so bad. You DO play with your own kids, right?
15. Attend a church service of a faith different from your own. It is amazing the perspective you can gain if you attend with an open mind.
16. Learn a musical instrument. It opens a mode of expression that transcends all boundaries and obstacles.
17. Clean someone else’s house (at least help).
18. Do a coworker’s job for one day.
19. Enjoy a family picnic in your backyard.
20. Visit a museum—any museum.
I’m sure there are other things that should probably be on everyone’s bucket list. You may not care to repeat your experience, but at least you will be able to say you’ve “been there done that.”
