John Goddard is most known for his amazing Life List of accomplishments. At the age of fifteen John Goddard listed 127 goals he wished to experience or achieve in his lifetime. A generation later, he has accomplished 109 of these quests, and has logged an impressive list of records in achieving them.

I’ve been compiling my “Life List” for the past weeks. It’s still not fully completed yet but I’m sure there’s more to add on at different stages of my life. I hope i will be able to check off at least 3 items from the list in 2007. I have also added things that i have already accomplished before coming up with this life list.

And then you find yourself…

The man who despite his uncurable amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (motor neurone disease), whom the doctors said he would not survive more than two or three years. He battled the odds and has survived much longer than any other known sufferer of ALS. His failing body may not have the strength to fight on, but his mind certainly does. He’s the one who inspired me to be an astronomer when i was younger. Of course, i have since realized that i’m not really a math or science person…
