3 Reasons to travel while you're young

For the sake, it's so true! and What I want to do while I'm young--- TRAVELLLLLL * papa, mama..can u read this* haik hiakk..

Friend shared this article with me.. so am shared here with u people=))) Read it, don't regret!

'The other night, I had a conversation with a young woman who had a number of decisions ahead of her, one of which was whether she should go to grad school or travel the world.

I told her to travel. Hands down. No excuse. Just go.

Travel While You're Young

She sighed.

“Yeah, but…”

Never were more fatal words spoken.

Yeah, but… what about debt?
Yeah, but… what about my job?
Yeah, but… what about my boyfriend (or dog or car or whatever)?

“Yeah, but…” is pernicious. Because it makes it sound like we have the best of intentions when really we are just too scared to do what we should.

It allows us to be cowards, while sounding noble.

Most people I know who waited to travel the world never did. Conversely, plenty of people who waited for grad school or a steady job and traveled still did those things — eventually.

Be careful of the yeah-but. The yeah-but will kill your dreams.

I was so stirred by this conversation that I shared it with a group of about thirty young adults last night, many of which were asking these very questions.

The life you’ve always wanted

When you get older, life seems to just sort of happen to you. Your youth is a time of total empowerment.

You get to do what you want. As you mature and gain new responsibilities, you have to be very intentional about making sure you don’t lose sight of what’s important.

So if you still have a reasonable amount of control over your circumstances, you should do what really matters. Because life won’t always be just about you.

During early adulthood, your worldview is still being formed. It’s important to steward this time — to give yourself opportunities to grow. A good way to do that is to travel.

So, young person, travel.

Travel wide and far.
Travel boldly.
Travel with full abandon.

You will regret few risks you take, when it comes to this. I promise you.

There are three reasons to travel while you’re young:

1. Traveling teaches you to live an adventure

When you look back on your life, you will have moments of which you are proud and maybe a few you regret. It’s likely that the following won’t be on the latter list:

  • Bicycled across the Golden Gate Bridge.
  • Appeared on Italian TV.
  • Hiked a Mayan ruin.
  • Learned Spanish in three months.
  • Toured Europe by train.

They’re not on mine (fun fact: I’ve done all of the above).

What, then, will be?

  • Holding back.
  • Being afraid.
  • Making excuses.
  • Not taking more risks.
  • Waiting.

While you’re young, you should travel.

You should take the time to see the world and taste the fullness of life. It’s worth whatever investment or money or sacrifice of time required on your part.

It’s not about being a tourist. It’s about experiencing true risk and adventure so you don’t have to live in fear for the rest of your life.

2. Traveling helps you encounter compassion

In your youth, you will make choices that will define you. The disciplines you begin now will be with you for the rest of your life.

Traveling will change you like little else can. It will put you in places that will force you to care for issues that are bigger than you.

If you go to southeast Asia, you may encounter the slave trade. If eastern Europe, you may see the effects of genocide and religious persecution. If Haiti, you’ll witness the the ugly side Western paternalism.

Your heart will break.

You will begin to understand that the world is both a big and small place. You will have a new-found respect for the pain and suffering that over half of the world takes for granted on a daily basis. And you will feel more connected to your fellow human beings in a deep and lasting way.

You will learn to care.

3. Traveling allows you to get some culture

While you’re still young, you should get cultured. Get to know the world and the magnificent people that fill it.

There’s nothing quite like walking alongside the Coliseum or seeing Michelangelo’s David in person. I can describe the city of San Juan and its amazing beaches and historic sites to you, but you really have to see it for yourself to experience it. You can read all the books in the world about the Great Wall of China or The Louvre, but being there is a different story.

The world is a stunning place, full of outstanding works of art. See it.

Do this while you’re still young. Do not squander this time. You will never have it again.

You have a crucial opportunity to invest in the next season of your life now. Whatever you sow, you will eventually reap.

Please. For your sake, do this.

You won’t always be young. And life won’t always be just about you. So travel. Experience the world for all it’s worth. Become a person of culture, adventure, and compassion.

“What if I’m not young?”

Travel, anyway. It may not be easy to do, but find a way to get out of your comfort zone. It’s really never too late.

But if you haven’t gotten sucked into the routine of life yet, I implore you — travel. It will never be easier than it is right now for you to do that which really matters." by Jeff Goins

If you’re young, have you traveled yet? Have you seen what the world has to offer and how it can change you? What’s holding you back?

If you’re older, did you travel when you were young? What regrets do you have?

If your family's finacial problem is allow you to travel. Just go for it! Don't be scare!! Don't close yourself in you own's circle!! Step-out and you will realise how big is this world.. You will get a lot of benefits in your future! Don't regret for your rest of life =)

After reading the post, my plan to US finally have some little sparkling!! *blink blink*! I will go for it.. want to talk with my parents when I back Malaysia. Papa & mama, can you give me 1 year times before I start my dull working life! * Pray hard and finger cross *

Ciao <3<3

从面子书转贴的!完全了解女人的心!

當女人不在跟你吵架,她已經不愛你了
當女人不再對你嘮叨,她已經對你死心了
當女人不再對你流淚,她已經對你心寒了
當女人不再對你撒嬌,她已經對你没熱情了
當女人不再深夜催你回家,她已經對你失望了
當女人深夜不再等你,她已經對你放棄了
當女人不再向你解釋她的行為和想法她已經對你厭煩了
當女人不再與你談及任何生活、工作的話題她正在遠離你了
當女人不再與你分享她的快樂,她已經對你漠然了
當女人不再與你分擔苦惱和麻煩,她已經不信任你了
當女人做任何決定都獨立處理,她已經不需要你了
當女人對你的沾粘自喜一笑而過的时候,她已經看透你了
當女人在你身邊,一直的沉默、沉默,繼續沉默
請你相信,她已經毫無留戀的要離開你了

男人看完後,請別讓你身邊的女人變成如此..... @@|||

女人们,说得很对吧?? 哈哈哈哈
男人们,要小心哦!=)
