  4. Searching for interesting goals, I came across this somewhere and I must say it was pretty awesome! I loved how it really involved funny and random things.

    We've made a blogpost trying to inspire as many as people as possible to participate (one of our goals was to write this ;). Perhaps you want to leave a comment of what you thought your best or most interesting/exciting goal was?
