Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.

欲知自己是何許人物? 別坐而問，請起而行! 行動會勾勒並定義你的為人。

The third U.S. president and principal author of the Declaration of Independence Thomas Jefferson offers advice to those who desire to better understand themselves. He suggests that the answer will not be found in idle speculation. It is one’s actions that establish one’s identify.

是這樣的嗎？ 當不知如何自處時，難道是可以外求答案的嗎？為什麼我時而時還是游疑不定，把持不住自己的想法呢？

The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one’s own country as a foreign land.

旅行的真諦並非走訪異鄉，而是在最終能以遊覽異鄉的心情來體驗故鄉。

By this, the English writer, G.K. Chesterton, in informing us that the essence of traveling is not just about discovering new lands but about finding, in your own familiar territory, places and people that maybe you have missed. We think we know our own country, but as we mature, we learn new things about it and see it in a different way.

是這樣沒錯吧。有時我覺得現在出國或旅行是一種社交活動中必要及受歡迎的話題，跟炫耀及展示自己名牌行頭好像沒什麼兩樣。當然見識增加是自然的，但我也認為，藉由旅行來進行必要的自省也是重要的喔。
