How to get 1000 cheers by Matt Maldre

"thank you!"

How I did it: I didn't do this, but rather all the wonderful people who gave me cheers on 43things did this goal.

Thanks to Lisa for giving me my 1,000th cheer. It was on the goal of Act goofy in an elevator with someone else. It took 1,248 days. Funny how 43things doesn't let you use four digits in the days field for how long it took. Instead I put months in. 41 months. wow. Funny to think I joined this site back in June 29, 2005. Wow. text text automatically got bolded by itself there!

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the 1,000 cheers. It means a lot to me. In the folder of bookmarks that I check every day is my cheers page. I love seeing new cheers.

    Yay! 1000! 21 months ago

    Thanks to my friend Johoho in Sweden, my good 43T buddy for giving me my 1000th cheer. That was very, very nice.

    It is also special that it comes on the day when I am moving ahead with so many things!

    This was worth it but it takes a lot of time and you can only get them if you give them! Nice to see what others think of your goals though and a sample of 1000 cheers gives a good rough data set (albeit unscientific) to be of interest.

    Thanks Guess Who's Bizzack 2 years ago

    Well that does it – guess_whos_bizzack cheered my goal of becoming a fitness instructor which led to my 1000th cheer. It has been a fun journey. Now it is time to get cracking on my other goals. Right now I am focusing on getting rid of stuff that does not suit my dream lifestyle. I just put my big monster truck on eBay, hopefully it will sell.

    Less than 125 to go... 2 years ago

    It will be interesting to see how the cheers stack up once I reach 1000. I plan to take an inventory and see what people gauge as the ‘things’ most worthy of a cheer. I tend to cheer what I would like to do myself or a ‘thing’ that hasn’t been cheered yet on someone’s list—because almost all goals are worth at least one cheer if they are important to the person.

    That is my mantra at least.
