I am not starting a debate here….no way. But I have thought several times, what's the best medium of education? Schools – No, Colleges/Universities – No, certainly NOT.
I would always say TRAVEL (henceforth expressed as T) is the best medium of education. As I said earlier, am not here to debate, this is my perception. The minute one hears the word TRAVEL, it kind of sends in a positive vibration, sets a mood, and calms the mind (well trust me – it does). Having said that T has its style and forms. Irrespective of your mode of T, or destination, or duration, there is always something to learn from every travel, mostly defined as experiences, I call it education.
New people we meet, new cultures we encounter, and different types of food we taste, and when I say food, there is always a custom and style related to food. Talking and staying with strangers, enjoying a drink and meal with them, living like them for a day, exploring their place as they do………the list goes on, all of them are different experiences we enrich (oops sorry – education)
Personally, every time I am done with a trip – I always feel a change, there is a kind of change in the way I approach scenarios, the way I communicate and perceive things, a kind of self-realization?? I don’t know if “matured” is a heavy word, but the change is good, most welcomed, and positive.
One gets a sense of independence and responsibility during the T. The traveler takes bold decisions, calculated risks, and achieves benchmarks during the course. So can I mention here that TRAVEL is directly connected to MANAGEMENT (top or bottom of the pyramid, well don’t ask me). Guess this is why our predecessors have mentioned that practical knowledge is always a step ahead of theoretical know-how. But the saddest part is – it's short-lived. Which means there is always a trigger to plan the next T.
I suddenly feel low at the level of my education…….. it's time, maybe
H I G H T I M E ………….. I have planned my next TRAVEL ………….see you all!!
