A Chinese saying puts it this way on one’s effective learning journey:
“读万卷书,不如行万里路;行万里路,不如阅人无数;阅人无数,不如名师指路,名师指路不如自己去悟。”
-“Reading thousands of books is no better than traveling thousands of miles; traveling thousands of miles, is no better than meeting thousands of people; meeting thousands of people, is no better than having a great teacher for guidance; having a great teacher, is no better than thinking through and realizing by oneself.”
This is truly TriStrategist’s experience on this journey. From west coast to east coast, from home to hotels, from land to water, from the US to Europe and Asia, meeting all walks of people, viewing all types of terrains, observing all variances of local economy and culture, it’s a journey to appreciate the timeless wisdom of the past, to connect one’s present to the future, to seek changes within. Everyone is a student on this constant learning journey before he or she becomes a confident master of one’s own destiny.
