Travel has always been a good teacher to me. I learn about other countries, people cultures and most of all about myself.
So in no particular order are my lessons from the school of hard knocks:
1) Focus on the goal even in difficult times
That's right, every time you get stuck in a place where you cannot get out of, FOCUS on how you can get yourself out. I remember getting lost in Lucerne, India(in general), Paris but those were the times I really found myself.
2) Stop running behind people; Plan and act accordingly rather than on emotions
Do not let people distract you from your goals. Make up your mind about a venue and go see it rather than being pulled away by the demands of the group.
3) Listen to your heart and act strongly
You have to be a strong person to act in accordance with your heart. Practice listening to your heart and see how it feels. . Don't be too rigid as too how will you get to a particular venue in a new city. Bus, Taxi, locals who knows where it will lead you. Trust your hear and follow the adventure it follows.
