uncovermandarin Posted September 3, 2009 at 06:22 PM Report Posted September 3, 2009 at 06:22 PM Today I read that this was an old Chinese Saying: “as long as you’re planning a journey, you own the journey. The minute you embark on that journey, the journey owns you.” I couldnt fins any reference to it, and wondered if there is a Chinese translation, either meaning similiar, or a translation from this.
