Travel, travel and travel

                                                        

Travel if you are looking for God. Travel if you want to seek tranquility. Travel if you want to see good in others. Travel if you want to know the purpose of life. Travel if you want to become mature. Travel if you want to become successful.

Travelling was a trivial subject in the past in most of the Asian countries and was only considered as an activity of the affluent. But people nowadays are travelling more than ever. This increasing trend of travelling has made people sharper and more aware of the international trends.

It doesn’t matter whether you travel internationally or within your country. The thing that matters is that you travel at regular intervals. Monthly, quarterly, half yearly or annually. You must have a special budget for travelling as it is an activity that will give you the greatest of satisfaction and learning. Travelling is not that expensive as you think. If you plan well in advance, then you can travel on a budget.

Travelling imparts you the things that you don’t learn in your everyday life. Most of the parents are crucial of the fact that their kids get into top colleges as soon as they complete schooling. And then in a top job as soon as they finish college. This rush is not going to help a student in his/her later life. These days there is a trend of depression and anxiety among youngsters and people in high paying jobs. Because they earn good money, but they don’t have the time to spend it.

So, when your kid passes schooling, rather than rushing into competitive exams, you must give your kids a chance to learn through travelling. Just give them three months, some money and teach them to travel through the country. If I take an example of a country like India, where the food, people, languages, culture and everything changes after 500 Kilometres. A person can learn so many things while travelling for three months that they can’t even learn during two years of schooling.  

Why do we simply follow the old tradition of schooling and curriculum? In this ever-changing era, we must be prepared with much better tools, with much healthier mental conditioning to tackle the obstacles.

One must plan to travel after every 6 months in order to become a better person. Travelling allows a person to become more adjusting, tolerant and content.
