千 里 之 行 ,始 于 足 下
A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.
道 德 經 ~ Dao De Jin
So said the legendary Laozi, Chinese philosopher and among the founders of Daoism. If a journey of 1000 miles starts with a single step, then what about a journey some 7670+ miles, across continents from one side of the globe to another? How does that begin? Life isn't about the starting point or the ultimate destination, but about the journey.
