Life is for living. But exactly how 'living' is justified varies from person to person. This series of articles looks some of the weird, wacky and wonderful things that you could try to do in your lifetime, to get the most out of the precious time we have.
1) Design your own chocolate bar
Who doesn't love chocolate? Even people who exercise regularly are more than likely to confess to enjoying just a little bit of chocolate. So why not take your favourite chocolate flavours and design a bar that's personalised to you.
2) Learn a musical instrument
Musicians would argue that playing their instrument gives them the ultimate feeling of satisfaction. Learning a new instrument can help you pick up a variety of skills, and why stop there? Join a band or orchestra to carry on your passion with like-minded people.
3) Race the Stig in a Citroen 2CV
The ultimate racing driver, the identity of Top Gear's The Stig has baffled people for years until very recently. Taking him on in the classic Citroen 2CV would definitely be among many motor enthusiasts 'to-do' lists, and several would probably even fancy their chances!
4) Write a book
Whether you pen a work of fiction, or the story of your life, writing a book is achievable for the vast majority of people. Even if it doesn't end up getting published, the sense of accomplishment would be enormous when it's complete.
5) Watch the sunrise with someone you love
The world has a number of beautiful spots to watch the sunrise, and it is certainly a magical moment. It makes it more magical when you share the event with someone you love - it's sure to be something you never forget.
6) Throw a surprise party
Throwing a surprise party for a friend or family member really shows how much you care for them. They will really appreciate the effort you went to to get everyone they know there, and you will get massive enjoyment from seeing their face when they realise what you have done for them.
7) Hug a Koala
Seeing a Koala in its natural habitat would be very rare - only 80,000 are estimated to be left in the wild. If you get the chance to be up close to a Koala, it is definitely a moment you should try and saviour.
8) Try out a foreign language on a native speaker
Us Brits are all too quick to assume that when we visit a country that the locals will speak English anyway. Making the effort to learn a bit of the native language when going abroad is a great way of fitting into a new country and culture, and you'll gain a lot more respect from the locals.
9) Teach someone a skill you have
Many would agree that life is all about learning. Passing your knowledge onto others will help spread it further and further. Whether you can play an instrument, a sport, can write or simply have a strange party trick, the person you teach is bound to be grateful.
10) Make fire the old fashioned way
Take a step back in time and learn to live how our ancient ancestors survived. Making fire by creating friction will give you a sense of how they used to cook meat and keep warm in the cold weather.
