Quotable: Live the Adventure
Mark Twain said:
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
That sums up my outlook on life, and I am living the adventure. Of course, the “bowlines” in my case are the “typical” nine-to-five jobs, two-point-five kids, and two-car-garages that tend to keep people tied to a place, employer, or family situation. Though sailing away from the safe harbor has not been easy, it has been rewarding in so many ways. It is worth it!
Related: a recent xckd cartoon about adventures speaks to this same outlook. (Warning: the cartoon has an “R” rating for language.)
