Vendeu tudo no Ebay: da casa ao trabalho

Quantas vezes você já pensou em restruturar a sua vida? Às vezes a gente pensa em seguir um passo por vez. Ian Usher, 44 anos, foi muito além: resolveu colocar a vida inteira a venda no Ebay: do cachorro ao carburador do carro, do guarda-roupa ao trabalho. Conseguiu vender tudo por 234 mil euros. A idéia surgiu de uma vontade de se livrar de tudo aquilo que lembrasse a ex-mulher. Hoje Usher reconta sua nova vida através do blog www.100goals100weeks.com . Abaixo, um trechinho extraído do site dele:

On the day I walk out of the door of my house in Perth, with no belongings other than my wallet and passport in my pocket, the clock starts ticking on the new challenge that I have set for myself! I have been working on a list of goals, things in life that I feel are important to me. My list contains almost 100 goals, some small, some pretty big. Some are things that have been with me for a long time, some are much more recent additions to my list. There are many places that I want to visit, and achieving these goals will involve alot of travel. There are quite a few adventurous activities on the list, a couple on there that REALLY scare me, which will be challenging. There are a few skills I wish to master, which will take consistent effort and practice. There are experiences I wish to have, simply because they will be fun. And there are also a few things I wish to do that will help other people too. So I have set myself the challenge of achieving those 100 goals over a period of 100 weeks, starting on the day I walk out of my house.
