行走的力量：趁年轻多去旅行吧！

随着年龄的增长，我越发意识到我对生活知之甚少。似乎年轻人有着无所不知的自信，而这种自信越早打破越好，至少在我如此。旅行时而将你带入困境。你知道，世界比你的想像要广阔得多。你很快会意识到世界不是以你为中心，你不过是水坑里的一条小米诺鱼，而不是大海里的一条大鱼。

Now, that doesn’t mean you aren’t still important, but it does change your perspective to be more open to learning from other people and situations vs lecturing and bestowing your vast wisdom to those lucky enough to be in earshot. Traveling teaches you to let go of the perceived concept of control. You learn that it’s a big enough challenge to just control yourself, and learn to give up trying to do so for the rest of the planet.

并不是说你不重要，而是旅行的确开阔视野，让你乐于从他人或身外的环境中获取知识，而不是向那些有幸倾听你的人讲述你的无穷智慧并赐予他们知识。旅行教你不固守已感知到的控制理念。控制自己就已是巨大的挑战，不要为试图控制周围的事物作徒劳努力。

4. Traveling empowers you to take on new challenges.

旅行让你充满激情地迎接新挑战

Just as traveling is humbling, it is also empowering. You realize you can do things you never thought possible. For example, I have lived for the past two years in Grenada, West Indies. I have always enjoyed driving on the right side of nicely paved and open roads of the U.S. Here, I was thrown into driving on the left side of the road on twisty mountain passes down broken roads that aren’t much bigger than a one-lane driveway, yet they expect two-way traffic to freely meet around the blind corners. Add to the lovely mix the fact that there are drop-offs with no guard rail along most of the drive, and far below the sheer free fall you see the rooftops of homes.
