When I meet people for the first time I like to ask random, searching questions which not only provide interesting topics for discussion but also help me to get a better understanding of that person.
One example would be “tell me what you would do if you won the lottery”, another might be “what is the best memory you have of your childhood?”. But my favorite is simply “what’s the most exciting thing you’ve ever done?”.
Sometimes you get some great answers. I met a guy once who worked in a warehouse driving a forklift but had actually done hundreds of sky dives over the years and even appeared in several James Bond films when he was younger. That was years ago and I still remember the guy despite only meeting him that once.
However more often than not, I get nothing more than a frown. “Exciting?” they ask, staring into the distance thinking. A worrying proportion of the time they can’t think of a single thing.
“You’re 30 years old and you’ve never done *anything* exciting?”
To me this seems more than a little bit depressing.
So I have two points for you today. Firstly, please leave a comment to tell me what the most exciting thing you’ve ever done is. Secondly, whether you have an answer to this question or not, why not put a plan in place that you will achieve this year no matter what – to at least have one exciting experience.
Fly a plane, parachute jump, zip line through the rainforest, be an extra on a TV show, race a car round a track, break a world record, win a competition, run a marathon, do a bungee jump. Do something that will raise your heart rate, something a little crazy, something you’ll probably remember for the rest of your life, that will give you something to talk about for years to come and that will help you stick out in people’s minds.
After all, everyone loves exciting people. And I still haven’t forgotten the James Bond stunt man…
