If real, regular, normal, boring life, (when you're at home every day, seeing the same people, doing the same things) is like sitting at home on the floor surrounded by toys... traveling feels to me like going to Toys R Us with your toy box and getting to trade stuff in and buy new things and explore whole new ideas.
Its not about winnning or losing, or how much you know before you do something.
Its all about trying, how and how much have you tried is all that is important.
And the day you try with all your might, courage and wit (doing the right thing at the right time), victory shall surely be yours and yours alone.
