If
you live all your life in same place, you are like the proverbial frog in a
well who believes that the well is the whole world. You become narrow –minded.
You may read books, magazines and newspapers, and still not know what the world
outside is truly like. There is no doubt that travelling broadens the mind and
enlivens the spirit.
Apart
from the viewing of natural and historical sights, travelling enables a person
to meet different people and study their customs, culture and language at close
quarters. Meeting different people makes a person broad-minded and tolerant.
Travelling brings people closer. Their outlook becomes progressive. Travelling
removes prejudices and helps to build goodwill and a feeling of fellowship with
others. It helps a person to become a citizen of the world in the true sense.
Therefore never lose an opportunity to travel. It will be an experience well
worth the time and money spent on it.
The
world is a book and he who stays at home and reads only one page.
