The essence of travel

To travel is a means to enjoy life. But let's start with the flower which can derives many wonders from our life.

Flowers give the following appreciation :

- scent

- colour

But a flower itself simply doesn’t give you the taste of what it really can blossom. The combination of light, surrounding environment and above all, your sense to appreciate gives you maximum appre

ciation.

This was taken in Nagoya, Japan. A lot of people asked me lately why I always opt the choices to travel when I can. Well, making one of the most important things constant first – an earning for a living, travelling can assist one to revitalize, learn new things and appreciate life, hence derive my theory of enjoying life.

Revitalize: the ability for one to rethink of life or what he/she has forgotten, whether it is life issues, family issues, values in life, etc. The travelling experience revitalize one’s thought. A little point to move forward is simply to make your experience an unforgettable one. Making funny faces or making fun of the one taking the same picture as you. This can enhance relationship and move away the tension from life.

Learn new things: no better can the Japanese be the best example in my case. Every time landing into a Japanese airport, you will find new things flying into your ears. Besides, getting into another culture explores yourself to the differences in your own culture and makes you understand why things must not be done “your way” but echoes to what “balance in life / yin yang” is deriving.

Appreciate life: the ability to appreciate is daunting if negative impacts from your walk around are present. Now, the ability to do this is really to sit and read. Long have I misunderstood the meaning to read. But now I slowly understand its importance to life. The appreciation of life can purely come from a book. But what is better is you can learn to appreciate life when you read.

So next time, when you see this Boeing 747-400 cockpit or any flights of any model, try not to rush into the gate and get onto the flight. As the flight hostress always say, "we wish you a pleasant journey". This means "your traveling experience starts here and so, make good use of it to enjoy life". Start exploring life from the moment you step on to this flight! I am trying to, are you?
