Short term goal setting, and 10 goals!

By On May 21, 2006 · 2 Comments

I read that short term goal setting is the way to achieve things in life, so I’m going to set a few short term goals now to help me become an overacheiver!

-1- Win the European Lottery. The 40 million euro prize money can be put to good use in achieving the other nine goals.

(Subsequent goals are now made from the perspective of me being absolutely filthy stinking rich)

-2- Learn how to fly a helicopter! Such transportation would greatly reduce wasted time on public transport as well as saving me getting wet hair from having to ride my bike in the rain.

-3- Buy a helicopter. Preferable one of those ones that is a hybrid helicopter/bike that the dutch were going to invent! Great for being able to go for rides on the Amsterdam dykes with friends in summer, and still be able to fly away as is needed!

-4- Film an award winning Indie film that wins the Cannes Film Festival. As I would prefer to work in the film industry, rather than in IT!

-5- Buy an island off the coast of Australia and declare it a sovereign nation. I’ll call it Padwannaland! That way I can make up my own laws and break the ones I feel are really worth it, and not get in trouble with the law!

-6- Join a circus! I love to travel and meet strange and exotic people. By becoming a circus member I get to combine the two activities into one! The best way to join a circus would be to buy one and then travel with them because as the owner noone tells you what to do! Which is good because I hate to work when I am travelling!

-7- Get full sleeve arm tattoos. They make a good conversation starter when you are sitting somewhere exotic! This probably wont help me do anything else in life, but they will look interesting!

-8- Publish my own book! Then go out and buy 5000 copies of it through amazon.com so I get into the bestseller list! People will see this and buy it themselves thinking it’s really good.

-9- Make a reality TV show about how completely crap reality TV shows are, and how people hate them! At least I will have contributed something to TV instead of punishing innocent viewers with yet another crappy TV show… or not! Maybe it will be crap, but it doesn’t matter because I own my own island and TV will be banned there, so it won’t affect any Padwannalanders.

-10- Get a haircut! (The ends are becoming a bit split, and looking like a hippy is so 70′s).

Padwanna!

    He Padwanna,

    Wow you are really into writing today, that’s a good thing, means you had enough time on your hands. I like your goals actually i reached one off them, i cannot tell you wich one it is because then i definately reveal my identity, but it is very much worth it.So if you need help with reaching that goal in particular may be i can help you?
    I was surprised by you’re photo did not remember you being that big, covered with tattoos and looking very wild.
    I don’t know if the haircut will do the trick if you cover your arms allover with tattoos but probably you will find that out.
    I was talking about the version with Gene Wilder, much better then the one with Johnny Depp Allthough he was a cute Willy Wonka. Know the French filmdirector: Jaques Tati? He made incredible good movies. Okay that was it for this weekend tomorrow back to work again see what the children have planned for me i’m always curious. Need a big coffee before working with them because believe me those little monsters have so much energy even at nine in the morning. Let me know if you reached one off yoú’re goals okay.
    Bye talk soon pippi

    Hi Pip,

    Yeah it’s all about making time these days for things, so hopefully you’ll see me with more regularity.

    So you’ve actually achieved one of these?! Let me guess, you’ve joined the circus. Maybe not. You’ve written a book, that could be more likely! I’m not really one to get really curious about things (he says with his fingers crossed), but if you own an island, any chance I could move there in a few years? :)

    Yes original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was such an excellent film. I really loved it, but it’s been a while so I don’t remember that bit you talked about in your last comment.

    BTW, the new pic makes me look bigger than I am, but the tattoos are real enough! :)

    Thanks for stopping by and read you again soon!

    Padwanna!
