Lao Tzu: A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.

A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.
- Lao Tzu
A great paradox of life is that while we must create plans for our future in order to live a joyful life, simultaneously, we must graciously accept whatever events life actually throws against us.

If we fail to plan, we merely bob helplessly - like a cork on the sea of life.
If we resist whatever life delivers to us, we create untold misery for ourselves.

Only by charting our course, and then continuously recharting that course in response to the events of life, can we achieve success and happiness.

i agree with this quote, it is very true. another quote i believe in, which is similar to this is "we are not determined by what happens to us but by how we respond". this being said one should be ready for responding, for changing plans -- for better or worse. this is truly living!

I completely agree with this quote... we have to chart but have to re- chart million times before we acheive the goal
