If you had to choose 5 goals to achieve in life what would they be?

By the end of my life I want to have 1) Learnt as much as possible about many different things such as art, film, music, literature, history, religion, geography, politics and be able to hold a decent conversation about this topic. 2) To have travelled as much as possible within the UK and abroad. 3) To develop some personal skills and try as many hobbies as possible - I think to be able to be good at cooking, learn languages like Spanish and Italian, spend more time on creative writing, paint/do some artistic hobby for a release and spend more time on hobbies such as countryside and nature events would make me very happy. 4) To make as many friends as possible from as many walks of life as I can to broaden my horizons. 5) To learn to be comfortable in my own skin and be at one with myself and others. What about you guys?
