Category: Bucket List

Introduction

Having bucket list that we want to accomplish before we die, is basically showing that we have goals that might seem impossible to accomplish. These goals show how much we appreciate what we see around us. There’s a movie called The Bucket List in which the actors decided that their bucket list items were so important that they needed to find people to help them achieve their goals. Items such as climbing Mount Everest, going skydiving. I am pretty sure that we all have thought of or made a bucket list at some point in our lives, these items could also be described as goals that we want to achieve in our personal lives. For example mine are to travel around the world, perform a kind deed without expecting anything in return, and to become a criminal profiler. My goals go anywhere from economical pleasure, career of choice, and even an opportunity to become a better human. I believe that bucket list items don’t necessarily have to be activities that we want to complete before we die, but also, life improvements that are necessary but at the moment are difficult to obtain.

First, Traveling all around the world has always been my goal since I was little. I grew up in a tiny town I had a difficult time envisioning much else outside my comfortable country bubble. When you travel to other countries and see the amazing beauty of sunsets over seas, rain forests, waterfalls, you realize the world is full of more beauty that you are capable of seeing in a lifetime. But, you still have the intense passion to try. Not seeing this when I was younger, I would of have less desire to venture out when I’m older and have job and family constraints in play. I would have less of a desire to put the effort into taking the time to travel.

Secondly, Performing a kind deed without expecting anything in return, has always touched my heart. Since I was in Puerto Rico I used to see people at the traffic lights asking for money, food, coats anything they could ask for. Seeing people in those conditions have made me go and give food or at least five dollars. It’s hard to see them struggling and not do anything for them. When you do a good deed you helping someone. The homeless person now has food to eat, thanks to the kindness of these generous people. The person who is the receiver of a good deed or random act of kindness has gotten some help. However, he received more than just a meal or two. In addition to getting food, he also received the message that he is important and worth helping. This good deed warms his heart as well as fills his stomach.

Third, Becoming a Criminal Profiler has always been my dream. Since I started to watch Lie to me that show has inspired me to become someone who can help other find justice for our world. Lie to me it is based on a scientist whose expertise is detecting and interpreting “micro” expressions, involuntary facial expressions that last just a moment. A useful skill if you want to figure out whether someone’s lying, and why. Dr.Lightman runs a consulting firm from which he and three supporting characters traverse the Washington, D.C., area solving mysteries for the police, FBI and pretty much any other client who needs a lie detector. Criminal Profiler has Law Enforcement agencies rely to help them identify suspects in an investigation. Profilers use the details of a crime, including evidence and witness testimony, to determine a behavior pattern as well as develop a psychological portrait of the suspect. This allows law enforcement officials to focus their search on suspects who fit this profile. Individuals who work as profilers typically have a degree in criminal justice, psychology or behavioral science.

Finally, Accomplishing these three things before I die would make me feel good about myself, because I got to where I wanted to be. I really liked the movie because to me it was about dealing with what life gives you and dealing with it the best you can and with the best attitude you can have. I like that even though they were old and dying that they still had goals that they wanted to do and they still got out there and did it even though they may not have felt great all the time. It tells you that you should live life to the fullest everyday and to always have a goal to keep yourself going and looking forward. It gives you something to look forward to.

Everyone sets a goal to achieve at some point in our life. Whether it is on our bucket list or New Year’s Resolution, we try to accomplish something new or strive harder for something old. As I think about the future, I wonder who and where I will be. I created a bucket list to accomplish most, if not all, of the things on it before hitting the thirty year mark. Having a bucket list gives the importance of living on the edge.

The first thing marked off my bucket list was traveling the world. I wanted to travel to other countries to see the beauty and culture the world has to offer. The first trip was to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower’s twinkling lights illuminate the night sky. Baía do Sancho in Brazil has one of the best beaches in the world. I went to soak up the summer sun and to scuba diving with the sea turtles. Discovering Brazil was like discovering paradise. Trying the best pizza ever made in Italy was the highlight of my life – American pizza never tasted the same after. I have had a love for dolphins ever since I was little; swimming with them in the Bahamas was an amazing experience. They are very fast, and one of them kissed me on the cheek. The rainforest in Costa Rica was incredible just by walking through it, but when you are from high above in a zipline the pictures do not do it justice. It is a different experience in the present moment.

Thirty years from now I would like to look back on my wedding remembering all of the beautiful oversized bouquets with the mismatched bridesmaid dresses as they walked down the aisle. My wedding resembled timeless elegance with a little bohemian style. The venue took place outside in a garden and after the ceremony, the reception was inside. The weather could not have gotten any better. The early October air cooled off the guests who were waiting for the ceremony to start. The wooden altar at the end of the aisle was decorated beautifully: pastel pink, red, and white flowers draping around it with greenery attached to it. It had a neutral color palette for the overflowing flowers in different centerpieces.

When I think about weddings, I picture the wedding dress. Not just any dress my dress. My dress sparkled with embroidered flowers, vines, and beading on the top with small sequins that flows into the bottom of the dress. It was a ball gown, but not as full of a dress. The train had the same details sewn into it as my dress. This dress made me feel like it was made only for me: a simple, elegant, and classic gown with a fairytale spirit in the beading details.

Another checkpoint on the bucket list would be to have a family. Everyone in my family has lived in Phenix City, Alabama; I was the first to move away from home to a different state. I married the man of my dreams, and we had three children. We bothwant to have a house in the mountains of Tennessee, so we moved and found a great job opportunity to open my physical therapy practice. Once you get a house, you have to get a dog – we adopted a Goldendoodle puppy and named him Oliver. When we started to have kids, we had a boy first then girls a few years later because (1) I think every girl should have an older brother to look after them and (2) every girl deserves a sister to talk to or share clothes with. I was blessed with three babies with brown hair and eyes. All of my kids look like me and not my husband (pretty funny if you ask me). The bond with my kids was like no other. The memories with my kids were like the ones my parents did with me, always trying to soak up the moment because one day they will not be with me anymore.

Finally, completing all of these things before turning forty-seven years old will make me feel I am where I am supposed to be. God has a plan for me, and these things might not fit into what He has in store for me. Who truly knows what will happen in my life, besides God? I like to think of the future with the best attitude possible because anything can happen. I would like life to surprise me, but these would just be nice to experience. This is just a small part of my bucket list, there are many more things to achieve and see before “kicking the bucket”. Looking back at my life in thirty years and seeing I traveled the world, found the perfect husband, and started a family of my own, then my life would be successful.

When creating a bucket list it can get scary and time consuming to decide what they want to do before this life is over. The bucket list is the number of items you want to experience or achieve before dying. Everyone have a desire and passion in what they want do and how they want to do it like Doctorate, Physician or Engineer; the list is endless but the possibilities are not.

Master’s Degree

Master’s degree gives the option to the holder to have flexible framework and institutions thats fits him/her the best (Colleen Flaherty). Going into the higher education not only helps the person, it also helps the World to grow in smarter and efficient way. According to Bureau of Labor Master’s degree holders gets at least 15 percent boost in their salary (‘What is Master’s degree). Master’s degree can be earned in 2-3 years and after than I don’t have to worry about my job and my salary.

Going to Europe

There are many beautiful places to visit in World and visiting all of them in normal life span is not possible. I think the best place to visit would Europe because it is a Mediterranean countries, with the combination of alluring sunshine, beaches, historical monuments and scenery (Windley, Brian Frederick, et al.). Europe is perfect for visiting because it has good weather all the time; approximately 480 million visit Europe each year (‘Europe’). Visiting Europe is a lifetime experience because all the memories you will create there can’t be forgotten.

Skydiving

There’s nothing better than falling from 13,000 feet high to ground. The jump is only 60 seconds of free fall and the best 60 seconds of the jumpers life (Brian Marshall). That minute makes you feel alive. Skydiving is a amazing journey from sky to ground and this journey tells the value of time. The whole process of free falling is called skydiving (‘About Skydiving’). Skydiving involves a lot of risk to get injured or even die if the parachute fail to open. But if everything goes well; I will lose the fear of dying.

Becoming a CEO

Becoming a CEO of a company is like getting a dream come true. The CEO have a lot of responsibility and work stress because they are responsible for all the problem the company faces. The CEO position is not given, it has to be earned by hard work and dedication. Only 27 percent of people who study engineering or science becomes CEO of a company (Stadler, Christian). People doing business mostly end up becoming a CEO because they are the people who start their own companies as a small business and when they get successful they convert their small business into a companies or sometimes even a industry. All the CEOs have at least a bachelor’s degree in a specific area (‘How to become a CEO). CEOs are the face of their companies and all there decisions and actions can affect the company.

Many people make a lot of money for themselves or their family but are they successful. Successful is not a location or a destination it’s a Mindset that can achieve by completing the goals (‘How to be Successful’).The biggest reason for not being successful is the fear of failing but if we concur that fear we can be most successful on the Earth and no one can stop us. To be successful everyone should pick the goals that they think are important that other goals and put more energy on those goals (Mayberry, Matt). Everyone can be successful in there life if they achieve at least 50 percent of their goals.

The movie bucket list is a Hollywood movie released in the year 2007. The movie was directed by Rob Reiner and was written by Justin Zackham. The lead characters of the movie are Carter Chambers (Morgan Freeman) who’s a blue-collar mechanic and Edward Cole (Jack Nicholson), who’s a billionaire hospital magnate. Edward and Carter meet each other in a hospital room when they are diagnosed with lung cancer. Edward had all money in the world but he never had a good life and family time, he was never loved but on the other side Carter had a good life despite all the hardships he had in his life, he had a very loving family. Eventually, during the hospital days, they both became good friends and ended up making a ‘BUCKET LIST’. “Life is not a single continuous and unbroken entity with a single distinct beginning and a single distinct end (Darrell, 2018)

‘BUCKET LIST’ and ‘ADULTHOOD’- Analysis of main characters with reference to human growth theories.

1) Edward Cole

As depicted in the movie the character showed adjustment issues because he has never been to a hospital before. It took a lot of time for Edward to accept the reality that he’s been diagnosed with cancer. He showed faced anxiety and depressive features. He also depicted some of the features of a Schizoid personality. Schizoid personality refers to detachment from social relationships. The character also depicted some borderline personality traits as well, like in the movie he says that he likes to stay single at the same time he says that he was also interested in marriage which lead him too unstable relationships and marriages. Evidently, it’s depicted that he was unstable in maintaining relationships because he had married 4 times and he was not able to sustain any of those relationships. Also, he didn’t have a good relationship even with his daughter. He had a continuing feeling of desolation, anger, sex, etc. All these traits can be related to Erikson’s psychosocial stages of development. As Erikson says, if any of the stages is not fulfilled, it might lead to hindrance in development which leads to internal crisis and psychosocial regression of distinct character. In this movie, there were two stages that the character failed to fulfill. They are as follows:

a) Intimacy v/s Isolation- In this, the characters lacked love and intimate relationships which formed an isolated nature in him. Since he was not able to form a good relationship, he depicted Schizoid personality disorder.

During the trip, Carter realized the importance of his family and Edward realized the value of love and thought that the last thing he wanted to do is to meet his daughter. At the end of the movie, Edward and Carter passed away and their remains were buried in two coffee cans at the top of mount Himalayas. The movie showed the bio-social development of aging depicted by Edward and Carter. The theory of wear-and-tear was applied in the movie, it means a process by which the human wears out because of the passage of time and exposure to environmental stressors (Berger, 2012a, p.654).

Death and dying phase were more accentuated in the movie. Edward and Carter showed more death and dying characteristics such as anger, acceptance, denial, etc. In the beginning, they both refused to accept the reality that they both had terminal illnesses and both tried to isolate themselves. “The social dimension in coping with death encompasses a person’s surrounding relationships (Fadden, December 18, 2018)”

There is a continuous debate on whether health conditions in terminally ill people should be treated. People argue that the care is expensive and these people will be dying soon anyway, so is prolonging their life a burden to society? The other side of the debate argues that all means possible should be used to keep them alive despite the high cost. They argue that life is precious and what gives us the right as humans to ‘play god’. (Cavanaugh and Blanchard-Fields, 2015).

Towards the end of the movie, regardless of all the obstacles they had to face, they both fulfilled whatever they had written on their bucket list and they learned how to accept reality and move forward and do whatever makes them happy. The fulfillment of the ‘self-actualization’ need of Abraham Maslow’s need hierarchy theory is slightly depicted in the movie. Self-actualization is the final stage of Maslow’s theory which emphasizes artistic, creative, and spiritual understanding; portrayed by Carter (Berger, 2012b, p. 686). Carter and Edward at the end were ready to face death because towards the end they believed in this quote “Live each day as if it was your last day”. Erikson’s stage of Integrity v/s despair could be related to both of their lives toward the end. This last stage defines an elder who seeks to integrate their unique experiences with their vision of community (Berger, 2012c, p. 694).

Carter always wanted to be a history teacher, but he ended up being a mechanic and took care of the family. Edward on the other hand, wanted to have someone special in his life because he was unable to sustain any relationship even though he married 4 times, even though he didn’t share a good relationship with his own daughter. He lacked love and care in his life. His life was limited by his work. So, both Edward and Carter have shown anguish in their own lives. But, in the end, they both changed and had a major switch over in their roles from which they both experienced and fulfilled Erikson’s ‘Integrity’ stage.

I personally believe that it is cancer that made drastic changes in their lives, I’m not saying that it’s good that they had cancer, but it’s because of that illness that they achieved soul fulfillment in their lives, if they were not diagnosed with cancer, they would end up their lives like the same way before having an illness, they would have the same anguish and all the disappointments they have in their lives even their graves. It is their illness that made them think differently and which motivated them to achieve all their dreams before they die. That decision to break all the barriers energized their soul and mind. The journey to different places made them realize the worthiness of their lives and the beloved ones around them. I strongly stick to the point that it is totally of no use if you live the life if it doesn’t enrich your soul, I do accept the fact that often the realities of life don’t let you what you actually like. But we can definitely put efforts to make our lives worthwhile so that even at our death we can happily say that I’ve lived my life fully and I can die peacefully without any regrets. “emerging adults often explore a variety of possible life directions in love, work, and worldviews. Emerging adulthood is a time of life when many different directions remain possible when little about the future has been decided for certain,” (Amett j. j., May 2000)

The movie ‘BUCKET LIST’ excellently portrayed the challenges one can face in adulthood, the possible tasks of adulthood, the effects of death, how to overcome obstacles, the value of love, the importance of being happy, the value of relationships, the importance of having and fulfilling the dreams one has, etc. It also teaches us the values of life, particularly the development of an average older adult through psychological, cognitive, and biosocial phases.

Experiences from personal life

This movie basically shows the challenges faced by two people in their adulthood when they are diagnosed with cancer. Taking experiences from my personal life, I was able to easily related this movie to that of my grandfather. My grandfather was one the most influential person in my life, in his 70s he was also diagnosed with intestine cancer. Initially, he refused to accept the fact that he’s having cancer. But eventually, he coped with reality and started to do whatever he liked the most. He was a person who was fond of good food, he started to have food that he liked the most, and he asked my mother to take him with her. Since my mother and my family stay away from where he lives, he asked us to take him with us. Also, there were a few places that he liked so much. We took him there and that was when I saw him being so happy and I actually understood how he was living that moment. Although the doctors said him not to travel and had food restrictions, he was actually not very much bothered about that. He said that ‘I don’t want to die as a bedridden cancer patient, I just want to make the most out of the coming days and die peacefully’. The surrounding and the family always tried to restrict him and told him to take rest which he never listened to. I could easily relate the story of the movie to that of my grandfather. Even in this case Erikson’s last stage of development, i.e., Integrity was fulfilled. Till his last breath, he was trying to make the most out of each moment. As Edward says in the movie in the last ‘I’m sure that when he died, his eyes were closed and heart was open (Reiner, 2007)’. This is what I believe in the case of my grandfather also.

“You know, the ancient Egyptians had a beautiful belief about death. When their souls got to the entrance to heaven, the guards asked two questions. Their answers determined whether they were able to enter or not. ‘Have you found joy in your life?’ ‘Has your life brought joy to others?’ (Reiner, The Bucket List, 2007), This dialogue Carter is the essence of the whole movie.
