With me, travelling is frankly a vice. The temptation to indulge in it is one which I find almost as hard to resist as the temptation to read promiscuously, omnivorously and without purpose. From time to time, it is true, I make a desperate resolution to mend my ways. I sketch out programmes of useful, serious reading; I try to turn my rambling voyages into systematic tours through the history of art and civilization. But without much success. After a little I relapse into my old bad ways. Deplorable weakness! I try to comfort myself with the hope that even my vices may be of some profit to me. . Aldous Huxley
About This Quote

This quote is about how to live life, not just travel. If you are willing to be patient and to study your options, you can find the right path in life. One of the main topics I want to dive into is how to come up with a plan to live your life. Take for instance the person who wrote the quote, Joseph Conrad.

He was not always a successful writer but he ultimately became one of the greatest writers of all time. He had a good plan and an unbreakable work ethic that helped him succeed in life.
