The $6,400 To-Do List



Here’s a challenge for you: Write a $6,400 to-do list.
Am I kidding? No. Johnny Cash did it.
How did he do that? Well, it’s really simple.
Johnny wrote "Things to Do Today" lists.



On one were these 10 items:
1. Not smoke.
2. Kiss June (his wife).
3. Not kiss anyone else.
4. Cough.
5. Pee.
6. Eat.
7. Not eat too much.
8. Worry.
9. Go see Mama.
10. Practice piano.
Under the "Notes" he wrote: "Not write notes".



Johnny probably had his tongue in his cheek.
But the to-do list reflected his values.
It shows he was trying to quite smoking, etc.
He was working on his family relationships.
He was trying to stay humble and down to earth.



His to-do list sold at auction for $6,400.
Someone with more money than sense paid that.
He may plan to sell it for more to some other sucker.



Well, you say. But he was Johnny Cash.
That’s what made the list so valuable.
Well, why can’t you be the next Johnny Cash?
Or Bill Gates? Or Steve Jobs? Or Oprah Winfrey?
You’re smart enough and talented enough.
But are you determined enough?



When you get to be Johnny whoever, keep a list.
It might be worth $6,400 one of these days.
