"So
many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the
initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a
life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear
to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to
the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic
core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of
life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is
no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day
to have a new and different sun."
