…ever given me was from a colleague, about 20 years older than me, with whom I consulted when trying to decide about taking a new job in another state. Knowing it was an excellent opportunity and probably the decision I should make I was still hesitant about the move away from my family, the uncertainty of everything, and the sadness of moving away from my friends. Anne attempted to give me this quote but didn’t know it exactly and didn’t know who said it but she told me enough to make me start thinking – - and take the job in Connecticut where I stayed for 3+ years and made lifelong friends! I came across the actual quote today and believe it to my core. It reminds me of my desire to travel, specifically about my newfound love (no, passion!) for Antarctica.
“Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.”
— Mark Twain.
