    Well then let me give you some advice:

    The strategic adversary is fascism... the fascism in us all, in our heads and in our everyday behavior, the fascism that causes us to love power, to desire the very thing that dominates and exploits us. - Michel Foucault (1926 - 1984)

    Immortality. Akhileus style. I will be remembered.

    Well, not necessarily for being a killing machine, but for doing something that will echo down the eons at any rate. Hopefully. Maybe.
    Don't have any aspirations - they're doomed to fail.

    Rumours...

    The pursuit of my lifestyle - I will do whatever it takes to maintain it at the level I want it to be.
    May the wind be ever at your back and the sun ever on your faces. May your sword lie light in your hand and heavy in the memories of your enemies

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    I have enough money and power - Thanks Gawain/others

    Some of my earlier goals were before I married my High School Sweetheart

    Learn Jujitsu and other self-defense techniques - DONE
    Live in another country and have an overseas experience - DONE
    Return to my country of Birth: Holland and live there - DONE
    Join the Military, in particular the Air Force - DONE

    Thanks Dave, I seem to be on the right path, setting goals is still a good thing, I can add

    Be happy with myself - DONE
    Be a "mentor" to junior work collegues - DONE
    Go to a "Formula One" race meeting - PLANNED (2006)

    I now have a couple of new goals too.

    Learn something new / Enlightenment - Thanks Papawaio/BP,
    Get Fitter, lower my weight, be healthier - Thanks Ichi
    We work to live, and to live is to, play "Total War" or drive a VR-4
