Paulo CoelhoAfter weeks on the road, listening to a language you donโt understand, using a currency whose value you donโt comprehend, walking down streets youโve never walked down before, you discover that your old โI,โ along with everything you ever learned, is absolutely no use at all in the face of those new challenges, and you begin to realize that buried deep in your unconscious mind there is someone much more interesting and adventurous and more open to the world and to new experiences.
