Read 10,000 books and travel 10,000 miles. Learn as much as you can and do all you can. Travel can teach people more than a textbook. I value the memories I have travelled all over the world. There are many reasons why I encourage people to travel, and I know that the experience will make one a better person.
I remember when I was traveling that I began to know the world better. The world is not just about me, my small town and home. Although you will meet different people from all over the world, you will realize that people are similar in their dreams, hopes and feelings. Enjoy exploring the different cultures, and you will also find that people are different in some of the things they do and how they live. Once you understand their ways, it need not be strange or scary. Often we read stories about other cultures in books. Only when we visit their areas, do we find that those stories are something wrong.
One thing you may find out is that there are problems all over the world. We can't just get money to send to these areas and hope that will work them out. The world should get involved(干预) and help wherever there are problems. People everywhere should be given a chance. It is so easy to ignore this if one does not travel and explore. One can look around and see that so many people have many challenges worse than ours. One can realize that sometimes our biggest problems are not that big after all.
On your journey you will meet lots of new friends. Talking to strangers and finding about their lives is a great way to spend your time. You will certainly be more confident after having to solve problems and make many decisions along the way.
Traveling around and seeing so much happening in the world around us is a wonderful experience. If we could all just travel a little more and share our experiences, we would all be better people and the world would be a better place.
We all want to travel but our greatest limitations are from within. Seeing the world is not leisure but provides interesting elements that will help us grow and discover ourselves. More than that, it boosts our creativity and recharges our spirit to face life challenges. Thus, it is important to quit making these excuses and hit the road.

Norman Vincent Peale, a famous writer, once told a story. One day, a man named Frank telephoned him and said he had nothing left to live for. Peale invited him to his office. “Everything is gone, and I’m hopeless,” Frank told Peale. “I’m living in the darkness. In fact, I’ve lost hope for living.”
Peale smiled, feeling sorry for him. “Let’s take a look at your situation(处境).”
On a piece of paper he drew a straight line down in the middle. He told Frank that they must list the things Frank had lost on the left side, and on the right side, the things Peale hadn’t lost.
“You won’t need that column(栏;列) on the right side,” said Frank sadly.
It seemed Peale did not hear him. Peale asked, “When did your wife(妻子) leave you?”
“What do you mean? She doesn’t leave me! My wife loves me! “
“That’s great! “ said Peale excitedly, “Then we’ll only put that to the right column. Number One—Wife left. Now, when did your children go to prison(监狱)?”
“My children aren’t in prison! “
“Good! That’s Number Two on the right side--Children in prison.” said Peale, writing it down.
After a few more questions, at last Frank got it and smiled. “Funny, how things change (改变) when you think of them that way.” he said.
