 "Corporate billionaire Edward Cole (Jack Nickolson) and working class mechanic Carter Chambers (Morgan Freeman) have nothing in common except for their terminal illnesses. While Sharing a hospital room together, they decide to leave it and do all the things they have ever wanted to do before they die according to their bucket list. In the process, both of them heal each other, become unlikely friends, and ultimately find the joy in life."
Unlike most people who were out partying or putting off every single firecracker on hand, I decided to watch a movie to welcome the new year. Nice choice, I must say..because I picked The Bucket List as my movie for the evening. As I read the synopsis behind the case, I immediately thought it was too morbid of me to watch anything death-related on New Year's Eve; but decided "why not?"
The reviews for this movie weren't quite positive, yet I found it most interesting. I have read Tuesdays With Morrie, Tao of Pooh, Siddhartha, books by Paolo Coelho, and other inspirational/philosophical books I could get my hand on at National Bookstore, and I must say that this movie is definitely now a part of my to-refer-to list.
It is funny how we have all these must-do-this-year-coz-i-never-got-to-do-it-ever lists year after year after year. And it is only when we think time is running out that we, either 1)regret not doing what we always promised to do; or 2)cram all items in whatever time that's left for us.
One of my professors in college made me realize a different approach into making these "lists," - thinking that there would be a bigger possibility of them actually happening. This approach is called the S.M.A.R.T. approach, and I've also read other people recommend this here and there. In case your approaches aren't too successful, you might want to try that out.
But then again - to each his own. I find that having a "bucket list" IS a simple way of putting it. And finding the joy in your life, really, shouldn't be all that hard.
Happy New Year, guys
