"Before you set your destination, first discover where you are."


I have been pondering on where this quote came from, but have not been able to track it down.  Anyway, it's a nice quote, all about self-awareness and forward planning, among other things.  Very deep, it is.

Maybe it appeals to me because it is all about spatial awareness, too.  A good motto for a geographer......

It reminds me of the old Irish joke:  Irish peasant to posh tourist who is lost in the wilderness, and who is asking the way to the nearest town:  "Well, if I was you, sir, I wouldn't start from here..."
