“Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends..."
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed... and gazed... but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
(William Wordsworth)
I travel quite a lot. A lot more compared to others. Mind you, I am not comparing with those who travel because of their jobs but my benchmark is my colleagues and close friends. In my early days most of the overseas travels coincide with my attending courses, seminars or conferences. Back then, the boss insisted that I need the training to improve my competencies and skills, to perform better in my job! Till now I still wonder whether those courses and seminars have make significant impact to my job performance... ha.. ha..
I am not complaining. The company is paying for the travel and why not, I always take the opportunity to extend a few days to enjoy and explore new places. I love travelling and my journey continues...
