Sir Steven Redgrave—Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals
“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes (糖尿病), believing the profession(职业) trained for the whole of my life ended, I felt very sorry. Then one of my friends said there was no reason why I should stop training. That was it—the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn’t finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.”
Karen Pickering—Swimming World Champion (冠军)
“I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that amount(总数) of work by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success—you can’t follow a profession in any field without being well-organized. Make a list of what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them.”
Kristen Stewart—Actress
“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve anything. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to give most of your attention to one thing. When I feel nervous, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘calm’, ‘peace’, either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and improves my confidence. This is a habit and is a powerful psychological(心理学的) tool.”

Learning can take place in a classroom, in a meeting room, or even on a ship. Life experiences offer the students some of the best education on the earth. Of those life experiences, travel offers the best returns(回报).
For international travelers, the lessons are the greatest. Taking that first step to cross the ocean by plane or boat is a risk. It teaches people to see more and people can go beyond one land, one country, and one set way of thinking and doing things.
International travel opens up the mind with different cultures. Travelers see how different people do things in different lands. While this experience is exciting for adults, children get the greatest insights(洞察力) during the international exploration. It will help to form their understanding from a very young age. It will help them understand that differences among people and cultures can be quite exciting and wonderful in its own way. Fashion, art, science, transportation, religion(宗教), geography, geology(地质学) and social studies are all areas of learning outside of the books when traveling abroad. There is no other way that can teach so much information in such a short time.
You can learn more from travel than from any other educational experience. If you take no notice of everything you see, then surely you will learn nothing at all. But, if you are curious enough to look for new experiences through travel, you can learn more from travel than from any course in any university on the earth!
