Quote of the day by Laozi: 'A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving'

This quote is attributed to Laozi, from Chapter 27 of the Daodejing (Tao Te Ching).

The exact words come from Stephen Mitchell's 1988 translation, which is a creative interpretation rather than a literal translation.

The original Chinese phrase, 'Shan xing wu zhe ji', translates more literally to 'A good traveler leaves no tracks or wheel ruts'.

The saying highlights the value of immersing oneself in experiences rather than merely seeking end goals.

Modern psychology supports this notion, revealing that states of flow arise from genuine involvement in pursuits.
