正如旅行让你谦卑,旅行赋予你力量。你会意识到,你能做你以前认为不可能的事情。例如,在过去的两年里我一直住在西印度群岛的格林纳达。我很享受在美国平坦空旷的公路上靠右行驶的感觉。想想我曾经沿着不比单行道宽多少的崎岖山路靠左行驶,希冀着在看不到对面来车的拐角处有条双行道来避免撞车。更可怕的是,沿途几乎看不到护栏的公路上还有陡坡,而下面是可以自由落体的悬崖,悬崖下还住着人家。
So, if I lose control, I not only kill myself, but I land on a house and kill a nice family having dinner. No pressure! Yet, after more than a few white-knuckled moments, I can now drive comfortably with the locals and don’t bat an eye at the drop offs, the livestock in the road, the pot holes, or the fact that there is no way I should have made it through that tight squeeze with that oncoming car without losing a mirror. Conquering this fear helped me learn that I could adapt to more than I felt I was capable of conquering. I think that’s a good thing to learn at any age, but you can apply it longer throughout your lifetime if you start early.
所以,如果失控了,杀死的不只我自己,车子砸向屋顶,还要殃及正在吃饭一个幸福家庭。现在轻松了!经历多次紧张时刻后,我可以舒服地与当地人一起驾车,不必为陡坡、路上的家畜或坑槽而汗涔涔,也不必担心对面来车无路可逃而挂掉倒车镜。对这种恐惧的征服让我知道,我应对恐惧的能力出乎我的意料。我觉得这种经历对任何年龄的人都是件好事情,如果早体验,那么你一生中会受益更多。
