124 Inspirational Travel Quotes That’ll Make You Want to Travel in 2022

Best inspirational travel quotes in 2021

This is the ultimate list of inspirational travel quotes. Let wordsmiths such as Stephen King, Mark Twain and the Dalai Lama transport you around the world from your armchair.

Not all inspirational travel quotes are created equal. “You have to look through the rain to see the rainbow.” Ugh! Case and point. With so many of these clichés flying around, we forget the real purpose of an inspirational quote. The best travel quotes are meant to inspire. To resonate with and encourage you to take action.

Whether you’re stuck in a rut, hungry for change and adventure, lacking motivation or self-confidence, the right inspirational quote can give you a well-needed kick up the butt to get you on the right track towards achieving your goals

My favourite kind of inspirational quotes is travel related, obviously! They remind me that following my dreams will always lead to happiness and fulfilment. So, I’ve collated a rather epic list of not just any inspirational travel quotes, but the best travel quotes. Many of these travel quotes describe wanderlust perfectly. You’re going to love them!

There’s a mix of short travel quotes, some would even make perfect travel captions for Instagram, some are funny quotes about travelling with friends, but most of all they are all awesome trip quotes.

Ok, so the length of this list is probably a little overkill, but they are all beautiful travel quotes from some really inspiring authors and legends including Stephen King, John Steinbeck, Mark Twain, Samuel Johnson, John Steinbeck, Lao Tzu, Euripides, Seneca, Dalai Lama, Bill Bryson, T.S Eliot, Oscar Wilde and so so many more.

Here is the ultimate travel quotes list and the only one you’ll ever need. Save and Pin your favourites.

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the Earth all one’s lifetime.
To do something, say something, see something, before anybody else — these are the things that confer a pleasure compared with which other pleasures are tame and commonplace, other ecstasies cheap and trivial. Lifetimes of ecstasy crowded into a single moment.

travel intelligence quotes

It is the loveliest fleet of islands [ Hawaii ] that lies anchored in any ocean.
No alien land in all the world has any deep strong charm for me but that one [ Hawaii ], no other land could so longingly and so beseechingly haunt me, sleeping and waking, through half a lifetime, as that one has done. Other things leave me, but it abides; other things change, but it remains the same.   For me the balmy airs are always blowing, its summer seas flashing in the sun; the pulsing of its surfbeat is in my ear; I can see its garlanded crags, its leaping cascades, its plumy palms drowsing by the shore, its remote summits floating like islands above the cloud wrack; I can feel the spirit of its wildland solitudes, I can hear the splash of its brooks; in my nostrils still lives the breath of flowers that perished twenty years ago.

Come back and you’re going to see your country differently, you’re going to see your president differently, no matter who it is. — Henry Rollins

travel intelligence quotes

Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again in the quietest chambers. The mind can never break off from the journey. — Pat Conroy
No man is brave that has never walked a hundred miles. If you want to know the truth of who you are, walk until not a person knows your name. Travel is the great leveler, the great teacher, bitter as medicine, crueler than mirror-glass. A long stretch of road will teach you more about yourself than a hundred years of quiet. — Patrick Rothfuss
It is always sad to leave a place to which one knows one will never return. Such are the melancolies du voyage: perhaps they are one of the most rewarding things about traveling. — Gustave Flaubert

The wish to travel seems to me characteristically human: the desire to move, to satisfy your curiosity or ease your fears, to change the circumstances of your life, to be a stranger, to make a friend, to experience an exotic landscape, to risk the unknown. — Paul Theroux
Although I deeply love oceans, deserts and other wild landscapes, it is only mountains that beckon me with that sort of painful magnetic pull to walk deeper and deeper into their beauty. They keep me continuously wanting to know more, feel more, see more. — Victoria Erickson

travel intelligence quotes

• Adventure Travel Quotes

Adventure is worthwhile in itself. — Amelia Earhart
If you think adventure is dangerous, try routine; it is lethal. — Paulo Coelho
Most of us abandoned the idea of a life full of adventure and travel sometime between puberty and our first job. Our dreams died under the dark weight of responsibility. Occasionally the old urge surfaces, and we label it with names that suggest psychological aberrations: the big chill, a midlife crisis. — Tim Cahill
Only by going alone in silence, without baggage, can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness. All other travel is mere dust and hotels and baggage and chatter. — John Muir
Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit, and as vital to our lives as water and good bread. — Edward Abbey

travel intelligence quotes

Once a journey is designed, equipped, and put in process, a new factor enters and takes over. A trip, a safari, an exploration, is an entity, different from all other journeys. It has personality, temperament, individuality, uniqueness. A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless.   We find after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us. Tour masters, schedules, reservations, brass-bound and inevitable, dash themselves to wreckage on the personality of the trip. Only when this is recognized can the blown-in-the glass bum relax and go along with it. Only then do the frustrations fall away. In this a journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it. — John Steinbeck
What is that feeling when you’re driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? – it’s the too-huge world vaulting us, and it’s good-bye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies. — Jack Kerouac
A ship is safe in harbor, but that’s not what ships are for. — J.A. Shedd

travel intelligence quotes

It’s a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you’re ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any. — Hugh Laurie
Adventure is a path. Real adventure – self-determined, self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the Earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind – and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white. — Mark Jenkins

travel intelligence quotes

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. — Christopher McCandless
Adventure is allowing the unexpected to happen to you. Exploration is experiencing what you have not experienced before. How can there be any adventure, any exploration, if you let somebody else – above all, a travel bureau – arrange everything before-hand? — Richard Aldington
Be careful because Cambodia is the most dangerous place you will ever visit. You will fall in love with it, and eventually it will break your heart. — Joel Brinkley

travel intelligence quotes

• Solo Travel Quotes

To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the most pleasant sensations in the world. — Freya Stark
Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. — Unknown
I can’t think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything. Suddenly you are five years old again. You can’t read anything, you have only the most rudimentary sense of how things work, you can’t reliably cross a street without endangering your life. Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses. — Bill Bryson
The true fruit of travel is perhaps the feeling of being nearly everywhere at home. — Freya Stark

travel intelligence quotes

When you’ve managed to stumble directly into the heart of the unknown – either through the misdirection of others, or better yet, through your own creative ineptitude – there is no one there to hold your hand or tell you what to do. In those bad lost moments, in the times when we are advised not to panic, we own the unknown, and the world belongs to us. The child within has full reign. Few of us are ever so free. — Tim Cahill
No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow. — Lin Yutang
He travels the fastest who travels alone. — Rudyard Kipling

travel intelligence quotes

Travel can be one of the most rewarding forms of introspection. — Lawrence Durrell
When the traveler goes alone he gets acquainted with himself. — Liberty Hyde Bailey
The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready. — Henry David Thoreau

travel intelligence quotes

I think one travels more usefully when they travel alone, because they reflect more. — Thomas Jefferson
Loving life is easy when you are abroad. Where no one knows you and you hold your life in your hands all alone, you are more master of yourself than at any other time. — Hannah Arendt
Personally I like going places where I don’t speak the language, don’t know anybody, don’t know my way around and don’t have any delusions that I’m in control. Disoriented, even frightened, I feel alive, awake in ways I never am at home. — Michael Mewshaw

travel intelligence quotes

I can speak to my soul only when the two of us are off exploring deserts or cities or mountains or roads. — Paulo Coelho
Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road. Healthy, free, the world before me. The long brown path before me leading me wherever I choose. — Walt Whitman

   

• Anthony Bourdain Travel Quotes

If you’re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel – as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them – wherever you go.
Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life — and travel — leaves marks on you. Most of the time, those marks — on your body or on your heart — are beautiful. Often, though, they hurt.
It’s an irritating reality that many places and events defy description. Angkor Wat and Machu Picchu , for instance, seem to demand silence, like a love affair you can never talk about.   For a while after, you fumble for words, trying vainly to assemble a private narrative, an explanation, a comfortable way to frame where you’ve been and what’s happened. In the end, you’re just happy you were there — with your eyes open — and lived to see it.

travel intelligence quotes

Travel is about the gorgeous feeling of teetering in the unknown.
I’m a big believer in winging it. I’m a big believer that you’re never going to find the perfect city travel experience or the perfect meal without a constant willingness to experience a bad one. Letting the happy accident happen is what a lot of vacation itineraries miss, I think, and I’m always trying to push people to allow those things to happen rather than stick to some rigid itinerary.
Do we really want to travel in hermetically sealed popemobiles through the rural provinces of France, Mexico and the Far East, eating only in Hard Rock Cafes and McDonalds? … I know what I want. I want it all. I want to try everything once.

travel intelligence quotes

It seems that the more places I see and experience, the bigger I realize the world to be. The more I become aware of, the more I realize how relatively little I know of it, how many places I have still to go, how much more there is to learn.   Maybe that’s enlightenment enough – to know that there is no final resting place of the mind, no moment of smug clarity. Perhaps wisdom, at least for me, means realizing how small I am, and unwise, and how far I have yet to go.
I think food, culture, people and landscape are all absolutely inseparable.
Southeast Asia has a real grip on me. From the very first time I went there, it was a fulfillment of my childhood fantasies of the way travel should be.

travel intelligence quotes

I wanted adventures. I wanted to go up the Nung river to the heart of darkness in Cambodia . I wanted to ride out into a desert on camelback, sand and dunes in every direction, eat whole roasted lamb with my fingers. I wanted to kick snow off my boots in a Mafiya nightclub in Russia. I wanted to play with automatic weapons in Phnom Penh, recapture the past in a small oyster village in France, step into a seedy neon-lit pulqueria in rural Mexico. I wanted to run roadblocks in the middle of the night, blowing past angry militia with a handful of hurled Marlboro packs, experience fear, excitement, wonder.   I wanted kicks – the kind of melodramatic thrills and chills I’d yearned for since childhood, the kind of adventure I’d found as a little boy in the pages of my Tintin comic books. I wanted to see the world – and I wanted the world to be just like the movies.

travel intelligence quotes

Without experimentation, a willingness to ask questions and try new things, we shall surely become static, repetitive, and moribund.
If I’m an advocate for anything, it’s to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in someone else’s shoes or at least eat their food, it’s a plus for everybody. Open your mind, get up off the couch, move.
Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.

95 most inspirational travel quotes ever penned

Our favourite inspirational travel quotes have encouraged us to travel with abandon over the years. Perhaps they will do the same for you…

For us, there is no such thing as luxury travel; travel is, by default, a luxury. It is a privilege provided by the country of our birth, a privilege that many are not as fortunate to enjoy.

Sometimes, we have to pinch ourselves at just how ridiculous our lives have become: an ex-teacher and jobbing writer travelling the world for a living. It is absurd, it is astonishing, it is luxury.

When I first went travelling at 21 years old, my father gave me this quote scrawled on a piece of card.

inspirational travel quotes

It infused me with wanderlust. It encouraged me to get out of my comfort zone, make the most of my time, see the world and enjoy the freedom that comes with being on the road. It remains one of the most inspirational travel quotes I’ve read (even if Twain did not actually say it).

101 of the Best Travel Quotes to Inspire Amazing Adventures

I’ve put together 101 of the best travel quotes as a reminder, motivation, and remembrance for the reasons why we travel.

I’m not just talking about the sightseeing and beach vacations. Travel is about the journey as much as the beautiful destination.

We learn about the world by experiencing new cultures and ways of living, in turn learning about ourselves.

I’ve been traveling the world for a few years – Will has been traveling for over 9 years – and the rest of the Broke Backpacker crew has put quite a dent in their passports too. I think these awesome quotes about traveling highlight some of the magnificent journeys and lessons we’ve experienced along the way.

Why? Because Travel quotes provide inspiration and capture truths about travel, adventure, and life.

Just like travel, words have the power to open our minds to completely new perspectives, which is why I hope this collection of quotes about travel and powerful words will inspire you to get out there and experience some adventurous travel yourself.

101 Best Travel Quotes

Some last words….

From funny travel quotes to inspiring words from legends past and present, here are the 101 best:

1. Travel makes you realize that no matter how much you know, there’s always more to learn.” – Nyssa P. Chopra, The Cultureur

Travel Quote 1

2. We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.” – Anonymous

This is one of my favorite quotes about traveling. A lot of people think that one travels to escape life, or that long-term travelers are running away from reality. The way I see it – sure – maybe vacations are a quick escape from the real world, but traveling is a way to embrace life’s grandest adventures. Traveling is a way for life not to escape us.

3. “Travel doesn’t become adventure until you leave yourself behind.” – Marty Rubin

4. “To the tourist, travel is a means to an end; to the traveler, it’s an end in itself.” – Marty Rubin

5. “to live is to travel, on a voyage more epic than the odysseys of myth – not from place to place, but through the poignant strangeness of time.” – t.l rese.

Travel Quote 2

6. “Travel often; Getting lost will help you find yourself.” – Holstee Manifesto

Some of my best travel experiences were not necessarily butterflies and rainbows. Sometimes they were uncomfortable and painful. Sometimes I have quite literally gotten lost, but in the end, these experiences have helped me find myself.

I think that is what traveling is often about: finding – or at least rediscovering – aspects of yourself.

7. “Travel has a way of stretching the mind. The stretch comes not from travel’s immediate rewards, the inevitable myriad new sights, smells and sounds, but with experiencing firsthand how others do differently what we believed to be the right and only way.” – Ralph Crawshaw

8. “a man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.” – george a. moore, 9. “sometimes it’s the journey that teaches you a lot about your destination.” –   drake.

This is one of the most important travel quotes. Doesn’t matter how long you’re traveling for, you’ll see new cultures, open your mind and change your way of thinking – even if it’s just a little bit. Traveling shows us sides of the world but also about yourself that you’ve never seen before. Having a different view on things helped a lot of people when it comes to making hard decisions.

10. “A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture are like a tree without roots.” – Marcus Garvey

Travel Quote 3

11. Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comforts of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things. -air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky. -all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.” –  Cesare Pavese

I love this traveling the world quote from Cesare Pavese. Having been on the road for the last few years, he nailed my experience spot on. Nothing is certain – except air, sleep, the sea, the sky – but that is what traveling is about: embracing the unknown and trusting the process. The way I see it, the only thing for certain is what is happening in the now.

12. “Culture is the widening of the mind and of the spirit.” – Jawaharlal Nehru

13. “culture is the arts elevated to a set of beliefs.” – thomas wolfe, 14. “traveling — it gives you home in a thousand strange places, then leaves you a stranger in your own land.” – ibn battuta.

This is one of the most beautiful travel quotes. Meeting so many new people, making new friends and even finding a second family, has to be one of the best aspects of traveling. Having traveled quite a bit, I can say that having multiple homes is definitely an amazing feeling, although it can also create some distance between you and your original home.

15. “Culture is a way of coping with the world by defining it in detail.” – Malcolm Bradbury

Travel Quote 4

16. “Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.”- Ibn Battuta

Probably one of the best travel quotes I’ve heard – the play on words, the sincerity, and the capture of what it means to travel. Traveling will undoubtedly leave you speechless, surprised, and lost for words, but those words will be found, and you will have epic stories to tell.

18. “To travel is to take a journey into yourself.” – Danny Kaye

19. “every journey is personal. every journey is spiritual. you can’t compare them, can’t replace, can’t repeat. you can bring back the memories but they only bring tears to your eyes.” – diana ambarsari, 20. “the perfect journey is never finished, the goal is always just across the next river, round the shoulder of the next mountain. there is always one more track to follow, one more mirage to explore.” – rosita forbes, 21. “travel can also be the spirit of adventure somewhat tamed, for those who desire to do something they are a bit afraid of.” – ella maillart.

Travel Quote 5

22. “Remember that happiness is a way of travel – not a destination.” –  Roy M. Goodman

I think this is one of my favorite quotes about travel. Having been to 30 or so countries, and plenty of destinations among them, one of the most important lessons I’ve learned is that happiness does   not come from beautiful destinations any more than the concept that money can buy happiness…

It’s easy to assume that if money can’t buy happiness, surely experiences can, but you can be in the most beautiful place on earth having some crazy experience, and not be happy. We tend to always be in search of the next big thing – the most beautiful beach or bigger mountain – without realizing that it is the journey there that matters, not the destination.

Happiness is hard to define of course, but I think happiness lies in your outlook and present state of mind. To be happy is to be in the present moment, no matter what you own or where you are.

travel intelligence quotes

Wanna know how to pack like a pro? Well for a start you need the right gear….

These are packing cubes for the globetrotters and compression sacks for the  real adventurers – these babies are a traveller’s best kept secret. They organise yo’ packing and minimise volume too so you can pack MORE.

Or, y’know… you can stick to just chucking it all in your backpack…

23. “What gives value to travel is fear. It breaks down a kind of inner structure we all have.” – Elizabeth Benedict

24. “we must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey.” – john hope franklin, 25. “though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us, or we find it not.” – ralph waldo emerson.

Walking on the globe with your head down will never open up all views and beautiful things to see. In order to enjoy traveling, you have to keep your mind and heart open, accept different cultures and traditions and simply try to adapt. Keep a positive mindset and you’ll see the beauty of the world.

26. “Real traveling is not about visiting places but about ‘re-visiting’ our inner-self.” – Sorrab Singha

Travel Quote 6

27. “Travel not to find yourself, but to remember who you’ve been all along.” – Unknown

Both of these travel quotes (#26 and #27) encapsulate that sometimes we travel to learn more about ourselves. A large aspect of traveling is, of course, visiting places, but sometimes you end up visiting parts of yourself too.

28. “Travelling expands the mind rarely.” – Hans Christian Andersen

29. “traveling outgrows its motives. it soon proves sufficient in itself. you think you are making a trip, but soon it is making you – or unmaking you.” – nicolas bouvier, 30. it is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end.” – ursula k. le guin, 31. “the best journeys are the ones that answer questions that at the outset you never even thought to ask.” – rick ridgeway.

Travel Quote 9

32. “You thought too hard. Same with travel. You can’t work too much at it, or it feels like work. You have to surrender yourself to the chaos. To the accidents.” –   Gayle Forman

This is one of my favorite travel quotes! It reminds me of something I read in the book  Shantaram , about an ex-convict on the run and his adventures in India. In the book, he was given similar advice: to surrender to India and accept his experience for what it was.

You have to surrender to the chaos and enjoy/endure the experiences as they come. While this is applicable to many aspects of life, it is definitely applicable to travel. You can’t try to force itineraries and plans or work hard to fulfill some high expectations in your mind. Doing so will only tire and disappoint you.

33. “Traveling is like flirting with life. It’s like saying, ‘I would stay and love you, but I have to go; this is my station.”  – Lisa St. Aubin de Teran

Travel Quote 7

37. “Travel can be one of the most rewarding forms of introspection.” – Lawrence Durrell

I can relate to this quote about travel quite well actually. The longer and more that I travel, the more I find myself self-analyzing and observing my own thought and emotional processes.

Traveling has a funny way of throwing you out into the world with the intention of discovering more about everything around you, only to realize you will discover far more about yourself. It is why traveling can be the most rewarding form of introspection.

38. “You develop a sympathy for all human beings when you travel a lot.” – Shakuntala Devi

39. “once you have traveled, the voyage never ends but is played out over and over again in the quietest chambers. the mind can never break off from the journey.” – pat conroy, 40. “travel and change of place impart new vigour to the mind.” – seneca, 41. “a man practices the art of adventure when he breaks the chain of routine and renews his life through reading new books, traveling to new places, making new friends, taking up new hobbies and adopting new viewpoints.” – wilfred peterson.

Travel Quote 8

42. “It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end.” – Ernest Hemingway

I can relate to these words quite a bit as I try to find the balance between preparing and planning for the future, reaching goals, and just enjoying the ride and staying present in the moment.

Having goals and an endpoint in sight is good; however, I don’t think it will be as satisfying if you don’t enjoy the moments that take you there. If you only focus on the destination you’ll miss everything that matters – the journey along the way.

43. “All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveller is unaware.” – Martin Buber

44. “life is a magical journey, so travel endlessly to unfold its profound and heart touching beauty.” – debasish mridha, 45. “good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter.”- izaak walton.

Whether it’s long, annoying bus trips, a shabby hostel or simply somewhere you don’t necessarily feel comfortable, it’s always better to have great company by your side. Going through the rough times together makes the whole experience more endurable.

46. “The pleasure we derive from journeys is perhaps dependent more on the mindset with which we travel than on the destination we travel to.” – Alain de Botton

Travel Quote 10

47. “With age, comes wisdom. With travel, comes understanding.” – Sandra Lake

I love this quote about traveling. With age, comes wisdom. Wisdom isn’t something you can read about, it is something you learn through experience. The same goes for travel. You can read and hear about places and people that are different than you, but sometimes it takes experiencing those places and meeting those people for yourself to truly understand them.

Travel Quote 11

52. “Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s OK. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.” – Anthony Bourdain

Anthony Bourdain will always be remembered for his adventurous spirit and ability to share some of the most remote and fascinating corners of this planet with the rest of the world. His words ring true. Travel is not pretty, and it’s definitely not always comfortable.

Sometimes you’ll deal with awful buses and missed flights, sleep in strange places, be confronted with challenging and stressful situations, or encounter experiences that break your heart. But that’s okay because the journey will make you stronger, and ultimately make you a better person.

53. “Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” – Gustav Flaubert

54. “it is always sad to leave a place to which one knows one will never return. such are the melancholies du voyage: perhaps they are one of the most rewarding things about traveling.” – gustave flaubert, 55. “all travel has its advantages. if the passenger visits better countries, he may learn to improve his own. and if fortune carries him to worse, he may learn to enjoy it.” – samuel johnson, 56. “uncertainty and anticipation are the joys of travel.” –  ken hundert.

Travel Quote 14

57. “Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.” –  Dalai Lama

58. “investment in travel is an investment in yourself.” – matthew karsten.

Rather than investing in the latest technology, do yourself the favor and take yourself on a little trip. Clear your mind, learn new things and experience different cultures and people. You won’t regret it!

59. “Traveling carries with it the curse of being at home everywhere and yet nowhere, for wherever one is, some part of oneself remains on another continent.” – Margot Fonteyn

60. “certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.” – miriam beard, 61. “culture is the tacit agreement to let the means of subsistence disappear behind the purpose of existence. civilization is the subordination of the latter to the former.” – karl kraus.

Travel Quote 12

62. “A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.” – Lao Tzu

63. “travel expands the mind and fills the gap.” – sheda savage.

There are so many things to see and learn. The more you know, the more open your mindset and view will be. If you feel like you’re missing someone, invest in yourself and go on a trip to experience new things – you won’t regret it, we promise!

Travel Quote 15

67. “Travel is not really about leaving our homes, but leaving our habits.” – Pico Iyer

68. “when you’re traveling, you are what you are right there and then. people don’t have your past to hold against you. no yesterdays on the road.” – william least heat moon, 69. “i soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within.” – lillian smith, 70. “for my part, i travel not to go anywhere but to go. i travel for travel’s sake. the great affair is to move.” – robert louis stevenson, 71. “conventional wisdom tells us… we take our baggage with us. i’m not so sure. travel, at its best, transforms us in ways that aren’t always apparent until we’re back home. sometimes we do leave our baggage behind, or, even better, it’s misrouted to cleveland and is never heard from again.” – eric weiner.

Travel Quote 16

72.  “The journey is part of the experience – an expression of the seriousness of one’s intent. One doesn’t take the A train to Mecca.” – Anthony Bourdain

73. “travel is like love, mostly because it’s a heightened state of awareness, in which we are mindful, receptive, undimmed by familiarity and ready to be transformed. that is why the best trips, like the best love affairs, never really end.” – pico iyer, 74. “to my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.” – bill bryson, 75. “perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.” – maya angelou, 76. “travel does what good novelists also do to the life of every day, placing it like a picture in a frame or a gem in its setting, so that the intrinsic qualities are made more clear. travel does this with the very stuff that everyday life is made of, giving to it the sharp contour and meaning of art.” – freya stark.

Travel Quote 17

77. “The true fruit of travel is perhaps the feeling of being nearly everywhere at home.” – Freya Stark

78. “you will, if you’re wise and know the art of travel, let yourself go on the stream of the unknown and accept whatever comes in the spirit in which the gods may offer it.” – freya stark, 79. “when you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. it is designed to make its own people comfortable.” – clifton fadiman.

This another one of the most important travel quotes, especially in nowadays time. When traveling, always keep your mind open, be respectful towards other people and try new things. Just because your believes, expectations and values work for you, doesn’t mean that it works for others too. Watch, experience and keep the critical thoughts to yourself if you don’t want to make enemies in a different country.

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is a Thanksgiving classic starring Steve Martin and the late great John Candy . The story follows a man trying to get home for Thanksgiving dinner, but he is delayed by the weather and the lovable but chatty Del Griffith (Candy). The two team up to get Neal (Martin) home, employing the services of every method of transportation a person could think of. Along the way, however, it seems that everything that can go wrong for the duo does.

Watch on Paramount+

John Hughes' masterpiece is often remembered for its great one-liners from both Steve Martin and John Candy and for its unforgettable twist ending. The best Planes, Trains and Automobiles quotes will live on for generations to come thanks to the quality of the heart and humor present in the classic . The odd couple of Steve Martin's Neal Page and John Candy's Del Griffith is one for the ages, delivering one of the great examples of screen chemistry in movie history, with Hughes' writing giving them both tons of unforgettable lines.

RELATED: 13 Things About Planes, Trains And Automobiles That Still Hold Up Today

“Y’know, The Finest Line A Man’ll Walk Is Between Success At Work And Success At Home. I Got A Motto – Like Your Work, Love Your Wife.”

Del griffith.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles is, in a lot of ways, a movie about marriage, with Neal Page behaving in all manner of unpleasant ways while justifying it to himself through his love for his wife and family, and his desire to get home to them. Neal loves his wife, but does he truly appreciate her?

I got a motto – like your work, love your wife.

Del reveals himself at the end of the movie as a kind of Ghost of Christmas Future for Neal. Del lived a life on the road and now the road is all he has. There's no home to go back to. It gives Del this painfully real insight that comes off as sweet and maybe even a little naive when his motto is heard early on in the film, with the words taking on more meaning by the end once the audience knows the truth of Del's life.

“Please. Have Mercy. I’ve Been Wearing The Same Underwear Since Tuesday.”

At the pair's lowest moment, Del and Neal need to get a room for the night as the car they rented is now mostly destroyed, and the temperature is getting even lower than usual on their icy journey.

With very little money left, Neal is forced to beg and barter in order to get a room, eventually trading his watch but not before making this hilarious plea to the motel receptionist with an incredibly relatable Planes, Trains, and Automobiles quote for anyone who has had travel troubles.

“Oh, He’s Drunk. How Would He Know Where We’re Going?”

In one of the movie's most memorable sequences, Del gets turned around while on the highway and ends up driving the wrong way. When some onlookers try to tell the oblivious Del and Neal, Del interprets their warning as a suggestion that they're heading away from their destination and not that they're on the wrong side of the highway.

Del simply thinks that the other driver and their passenger must be drunk and want to race, brushing them off and driving straight towards two trucks. This results in the iconic moment where Del suddenly looks like the devil to Neal as they narrowly escape a crushing death.

“This Is Czechoslovakian Ivory.”

When Del and Neal arrive in St. Louis, they're pretty strapped for cash and running low on transportation options. Del makes some quick money by selling his shower curtain rings to passersby, advertising them as various humorously fake items.

Aside from linking them to celebrities like Walter Kronkite and Diane Sawyer, Del sells some shower curtain rings as " Czechoslovakian ivory ", which the master salesman gets just to roll off his tongue. Throughout the scenes that follow, viewers will notice quite a few people using the shower curtain rings for surprising uses - including as earrings.

“Larry Bird Doesn’t Do As Much Ball-Handling In One Night As You Do In An Hour.”

After already getting into a pretty serious argument about the habits of the other, Del and Neal start to dig into each other again in their rented car with Del prepared to critique Neal more effectively this time around.

Del points out that Neal has a habit of handling his groin by making this comparison to the skills of basketball legend Larry Bird, flipping the tables on the much more eloquent Neal and leaving him a little lost for words.

"Well, Let Me Just Close This Conversation By Saying You Are One Unique Individual."

Neal may have a short temper at times, but he certainly hasn't encountered someone like Del before. Their drunken banter is hilarious as the two share tequila and Doritos, and as they settle down for the night, Neal throws him a compliment.

Unique is the right word to describe Del. The audience never knows what will come next for the two. But the audience does know that Del will deal with it with an optimistic attitude, unlike Neal's pessimistic view. Opposites do attract.

"Four F****** Wheels And A Seat!"

Not only is this arguably the funniest scene from the movie but it's generally considered to be the most iconic of the Planes, Trains, and Automobiles quotes too. Steve Martin's performance in this scene alone is often remembered as one of his greatest screen performances , his rant is simply hilarious and convincing considering all he's been through just to get home for Thanksgiving.

You can start by wiping that f****** dumb-ass smile off your rosy f****** cheeks. Then you can give me a f****** automobile. A f****** Datsun. A f****** Toyota. A f****** Mustang. A f****** Buick! Four f****** wheels and a seat!

At this point, it doesn't matter what type of car or method of transportation, poor Neal just wants a way out of the madness that has ensued over the past few days.

"Those Aren't Pillows!"

Two strangers met at an airport and agreed to share a room for the night because of a blizzard, with one bed. What could go wrong? Everything gets too personal with Neal waking up to find Del's hand between "two pillows".

Considering the argument the two had the night before, this was not the morning the two expected to have and their bluster as they attempt to brush the moment off is ultimately charming. It's easily one of the funniest quotes in Planes, Trains and Automobiles .

"If I Wanted A Joke, I'd Follow You Into The John And Watch You Take A Leak."

By this point in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles , Neal has no filter and doesn't care for niceties with strangers. When someone advises Neal to travel by plane instead of a car, he responds a little too harshly.

The last time Neal was on a plane he was met with the same fake hospitality and kicked to the back of the plane. Neal learned his lesson here and was picked up by his groin as a result and thrown into the road.

"Six Bucks And My Right Nut Says We're Not Landing In Chicago."

Travel delays are inevitable at airports. Airlines are at the mercy of the weather as impending storms can keep flyers where they are for days. On their descent to what is Wichita rather than Chicago, Del realizes they have a long way to go to get home.

But what's great about this Planes, Trains, and Automobiles quote is how relatable it is. Millions of people face this situation, especially during the holidays when the winter weather settles in.

"Was That Seat Hot Or What? I Feel Like A Big Whopper. Turn Me Over, I'm Done On This Side."

The vehicle may not have been fit for highway travel, but it certainly kept the two of them warm. Did a car fire stop the two from getting home? Of course not, and the two were left with a few laughs and some griddle marks on their backs from their seats.

Despite the ups and downs of the journey, the two can share a few laughs at how crazy things got.

"How Am I Supposed To Go With The Flow..."

This sums Neal's troubles up in one Planes, Trains, and Automobiles quote. Del is a "charmed man" whose inside information on all the hotels, motels and diners gives him an edge Neal doesn't have. When Del tells him to go with the flow, he can't possibly wrap his head around doing so.

How am I supposed to go with the flow when the rental car agency leaves me in a 100-acre parking lot with keys to a car that isn't there then I have to hike back 3 miles back to find out they don't have any more cars?

Not only that, but it speaks to the unpredictability of holiday traveling. People want the impossible when they're at the mercy of Mother Nature. There's nothing more frustrating for a traveler like Neal than nothing being in their control.

RELATED: 10 Fun Behind The Scenes Facts About Planes, Trains And Automobiles

"I Like... I Like Me. My Wife Likes Me. My Customers Like Me. 'Cause I'm The Real Article. What You See Is What You Get."

Arguably the most iconic, heart-wrenching dialogue exchange in the movie (aside from the ending) as Neal tears into Del. But despite Del's flaws, he knows what he is and what he isn't. He's a genuine person whose only problem is being too nice. It's not too often a person like Del meets a guy like Neal.

When they do, the two personalities are bound to clash, it's inevitable. Neal's words hurt, but Del doesn't let them get him down, even if there's an unavoidable tinge of sadness behind them that Neal only comes to notice in hindsight.

"I Don't Have A Home. Marie's Been Dead For 8 Years."

One of the reasons why Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is often spoken about is its twist ending. Not an M. Night Shyamalan twist , but one that opened America's eyes to an ongoing problem not many were too comfortable to talk about – homelessness.

Del Griffith had been living on the road for years because there was nowhere else to go. This particular Planes, Trains, and Automobiles quote was a genuine surprise for the audience that brought the humor of the movie down to earth. Audiences didn't see this coming but were glad to see Del on his way home with Neal for Thanksgiving Dinner with something he's missed for 8 years: family.

"When Am I Ever Gonna Wake Up? I Wish You Were Here With Me Right Now. But I Guess That's Not Gonna Happen. Not Now, Anyway."

This scene is often overlooked when compared to the others, but it possesses a rather grim moment for a key character. Del is left sitting in the broken car with no protection from the blizzard outside.

He's left to his thoughts, thinking about his flaws, insecurities, and his wife. At the end of the scene, Del closes his eyes as if to go to sleep. This is the real low point of the movie before Neal opens the door to his room and invites Del in, rekindling a spark of friendship between the two. It's these moments of pathos combined with all the humor that makes Planes, Trains, and Automobiles quotes so memorable and the movie so beloved.

Nvidia unveils robots powered by super computer and AI to take on world’s heavy industries

New human-like robots will work on generative artificial intelligence and get smarter over time.

Andersen Capital Management CIO Peter Andersen discusses the Fed as its two-day policy meeting kicks off, Nvidia and Super Micro. 

All eyes will be on Nvidia, Super Micro: Peter Andersen

Andersen Capital Management CIO Peter Andersen discusses the Fed as its two-day policy meeting kicks off, Nvidia and Super Micro. 

Nvidia unveiled Monday that it is planning to release a software and hardware platform that can be used to build human-like robots which will continue to learn through generative artificial intelligence (AI).

The platform is made up of a computer system to power the robot and AI, along with a suite of software that includes various tools like genAI, to build human-like robots.

Nvidia made the announcement during its annual developer conference, where it touted the abilities genAI will provide for the robots.

Jim Fan a research manager and lead of embodied AI at Nvidia posted to X that through GR00T, robots will be able to understand instructions through language, video and demonstrations to perform a variety of tasks.

US-FUNDED REPORT ISSUES URGENT AI WARNING OF ‘UNCONTROLLABLE’SYSTEMS TURNING ON HUMANS

"We are collaborating with many leading humanoid companies around the world, so that GR00T may transfer across embodiments and help the ecosystem thrive," Fan said.

He also said Project GR00T is a "cornerstone" of the "Foundation Agent" roadmap for the GEAR Lab. Fan said at GEAR, the team is building robots that learn to act skillfully in many worlds, both virtual and real. He also provided a video in the post showing team members working with robots.

"These smarter, faster, better robots will be deployed in the world's heavy industries," Rev Lebaredian, Vice President, Omniverse and Simulation Technology, told reporters. "We are working with the world's entire robot and simulation ecosystem to accelerate development and adoption."

Nvidia’s "Jetson Thor" is the computer behind the genAI software , while the package of software is called the "Isaac" platform.

"Jetson Thor" will provide enough horsepower for the robot to be able to compute and perform complex tasks, the company noted, while also allowing the robot to interact with other machines and people.

WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?

"Isaac" and the new GR00T features will enable "any robot embodiment in any environment," Nvidia added.

Over time, the tools will train the software to improve its decision-making through reinforcement learning.

Along with the software and hardware platform, Nvidia announced it would be releasing pre-trained robotics models and additional software to improve camera sensing abilities and robotic arm functions.

Earlier this month, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced that artificial general intelligence (AGI) could arrive in as little as five years.

The company’s artificial intelligence chips are being used to create systems like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and Huang said AGI’s arrival depends largely on how the goal of AGI is defined.

"If I gave an AI… every single test that you can possibly imagine, you make that list of tests and put it in front of the computer science industry , and I'm guessing in five years’ time, we'll do well on every single one," Huang said.

AI can currently pass tests like legal bar exams but has struggled on specialized medical tests like gastroenterology.

But how fast AI can develop and learn has many people concerned about robots taking over the world.

The U.S. government commissioned a report that came out earlier this month, saying there is a "clear and urgent need" to act, as swiftly developing artificial intelligence could potentially lead to human extinction through weaponization and loss of control.

"Given the growing risk to national security posed by rapidly expanding AI capabilities from weaponization and loss of control — and particularly, the fact that the ongoing proliferation of these capabilities serves to amplify both risks — there is a clear and urgent need for the U.S. government to intervene," read the report, issued by Gladstone AI Inc.

The report also recommended the government tighten controls on the manufacture and export of AI chips.

Last Updated: 

Nvidia CEO Unveils Blackwell. The New AI Platform Could Be a Game Changer.

Nvidia’s latest GPUs will dramatically boost the ability for developers to build more advanced AI models.

On Monday, the chip maker announced its next-generation chip architecture called Blackwell and related products, including its latest AI chip called the B200.

The GPU platform, named in honor of mathematician David Harold Blackwell, succeeds the company’s Hopper architecture, which was launched two years ago and helped to send Nvidia’s business – and its stock – soaring.

“Generative AI is the defining technology of our time,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said during a keynote address Monday at the company’s developers conference in San Jose. “Blackwell GPUs are the engine to power this new industrial revolution. Working with the most dynamic companies in the world, we will realize the promise of AI for every industry.”

Blackwell GPUs contain 208 billion transistors and can enable AI models that scale up to 10 trillion parameters.

For comparison, OpenAI’s GPT-3 is made up of 175 billion parameters.

Blackwell will be incorporated in Nvidia’s GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchip, which connects two B200 Blackwell GPUs to a Grace CPU. Nvidia didn’t disclose a price.

The new chips are expected to be available later this year. Nvidia said Amazon Web Services, Dell Technologies, Google, Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Tesla plan to use Blackwell GPUs.

Nvidia also announced the GB200 NVL72 liquid-cooled rack system, which contains 36 GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchips. The system offers up to 30 times the performance for inference workloads, Nvidia said, compared with its current H100 GPU.

The company also said it will also have a server board, called the HGX B200, that links together eight B200 GPUs.

Nvidia dominates the market for chips used for AI applications and for generative AI. With the higher performance of Blackwell, the chip maker is looking to cement that dominance.

Developing Intrapersonal Intelligence

  • Examples and Activities

Resources and Further Reading

Intrapersonal intelligence is the ability to recognize and understand your thoughts, feelings, and motivation. It involves gaining self-awareness through introspection, self-reflection, and insight. This form of intelligence allows people to plan, make decisions, and pursue goals effectively.

"Intrapersonal intelligence describes how well we understand ourselves and how we use our self-awareness to guide our lives. This includes understanding our emotions, core values, belief systems, and motivation behind our behaviors, and living in alignment with this understanding," explains Courtney Morgan, LPCC, a licensed therapist and founder of Counseling Unconditionally .

If you have a high level of intrapersonal intelligence, you might feel like you have a deep connection to your own mind and the things that make you tick. Understanding your inner world allows you to relate and interact with your external environment more effectively. Because you know yourself so well, you are adept at setting meaningful goals that guide your life in the right direction.

It is one of the multiple intelligences described by psychologist Howard Gardner . Gardner suggests that intelligence isn't just a single mental capacity . Instead, he believes that people can possess several different kinds of intelligences (nine, in fact).

At a Glance

People with intrapersonal intelligence often seem to have an uncanny understanding of their own thoughts, emotions, and experiences. They are great at spotting patterns in their life, connecting current feelings to past events, and understanding why they are the way they are today.

Keep reading to learn more about what you can do to develop your intrapersonal intelligence abilities and why these skills can be so important for mental well-being.

Characteristics of Intrapersonal Intelligence

People who have strong intrapersonal intelligence tend to be:

  • Self-aware : People with this type of intelligence understand their internal experiences thoroughly, including how they think, feel, and act.
  • Introspective : They are also skilled when it comes to reflecting on their internal processes to gain insights.
  • Emotionally intelligent : Because they are so skilled at interpreting their inner life, they also possess an innate ability to manage and regulate their emotions effectively.
  • Self-knowledgeable : A deep understanding and appreciation of the self lies at the center of intrapersonal intelligence. This can be beneficial at times, but it can sometimes contribute to shyness or social anxiety . Because people feel like others evaluate them with the same level of scrutiny, they may feel like they are always under the spotlight.
  • Intuitive : Because people with this type of intelligence are so clued into their own feelings and what's happening in the world around them, they have a powerful ability to use their intuition to connect events and predict outcomes.

Intrapersonal Traits and Behaviors

  • Philosophical
  • Independent
  • Self-reflective
  • Enjoys working alone
  • Introverted
  • Enjoys learning about the self
  • Appreciates journaling
  • Strong intuition
  • Good self-regulation
  • Understand others by first understanding themselves
  • Express thoughts and feelings through creative pursuits

Theories and Models of Intrapersonal Intelligence

Howard Gardner introduced the concept of intrapersonal intelligence as part of his theory of multiple intelligences. Where traditional theories of intelligence suggested that intelligence was a single, broad capacity, Gardner believes that it is made up of many different types of cognitive abilities. 

According to Gardner, there are nine distinct types of intelligence:

  • Verbal-linguistic intelligence
  • Logical-mathematical intelligence
  • Spatial visual intelligence
  • Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence
  • Musical intelligence
  • Interpersonal intelligence
  • Intrapersonal intelligence
  • Naturalistic intelligence
  • Existential intelligence

While intrapersonal intelligence is primarily associated with Gardner's theory, it also plays a role in a number of other theories and models.

Self-determination theory is a theory of human motivation that suggests that people are driven by autonomy, intrinsic motivation, and competence. People who possess strong intrapersonal intelligence are independent and aware of their motivations. This can help them feel more independent, capable, and intrinsically motivated to achieve their goals.

Intrapersonal intelligence is also an important aspect of emotional intelligence . Emotional intelligence refers to a person's ability to perceive, understand, manage, and use emotions. Intrapersonal knowledge helps strengthen emotional intelligence.

Research suggests that perceived intrapersonal emotional intelligence can play a beneficial role in academic success.

Intrapersonal vs. Interpersonal Intelligence

Intrapersonal and interpersonal intelligence are sometimes confused with one another. Interpersonal intelligence is another of the nine types identified by Gardner and refers to the ability to understand social situations and other people's social behavior.

Where intrapersonal intelligence focuses on understanding the self, interpersonal intelligence is centered on understanding other people.

Intrapersonal intelligence tends to come naturally to some people–it’s just part of how their minds work. However, Morgan explains that anyone can learn and strengthen their intrapersonal abilities.

A few ways to do this include journaling, getting curious about themselves and their reactions to others (asking themselves the tough questions!), reading self-help books or working through guided self-help books, listening to podcasts, and tuning into their internal dialogue .

Intrapersonal means within the individual self or mind. So these skills center on things like self-awareness, resilience , emotional understanding, and adaptability.

Some strategies that can help you develop your intrapersonal skills include:

Identify Your Values

Morgan's number one recommendation for strengthening intrapersonal abilities is to complete a value card sort. "This is an activity in which a person is presented with numerous values, such as family, power, autonomy , peace, travel, and connection, and they are instructed to identify the values that are most important to them," she says.

The leadership and personal development company Think2Perform has a great online value sorter that you can try for free.

She suggests working through the card sort until you've selected a maximum of five values. Next, think about how well you are living in alignment with those core values . How can you integrate these values into your life more? Which areas of your life are these values not present?

This can be a great way to guide your decisions and identify areas of incongruence in your life. "I find that people experience sadness, frustration, and anxiety when they have high levels of incongruence between their lives and their values," Morgan explains.

Make Time for Yourself

Self-discovery is essential for intrapersonal intelligence. Give yourself the time and space to get to know who you are a little better. Exploring who you are and building an identity often take center stage during adolescence and other important points of life, but building a sense of self-concept is an ongoing process throughout life.

Strategies that can help you build stronger self-knowledge include:

  • Spending time alone
  • Examining your thoughts and reactions
  • Visualizing your goals, dreams, and aspirations
  • Exploring new hobbies and interests
  • Staying open to new experiences and learning
  • Using mind-body activities to put yourself in closer touch with your mind and body
  • Taking breaks to do things that you enjoy

Writing in a Journal

Journaling your thoughts, feelings, and experiences is a powerful way to learn more about yourself. Think of your journal as a guidebook to yourself. It can hold your memories as well as your emotions, aspirations, and fears. 

Looking back on your journal entries can be a great way to pinpoint problems, notice patterns, and remind you of your progress.

Treat Yourself Kindly

Showing yourself compassion is an important intrapersonal skill. Being kind to yourself can help you build a deeper, more positive connection with how you are feeling. Pay attention to how you are feeling and look for ways to improve how you are feeling and address your needs.

Give yourself encouragement when you're feeling stressed. Think about what you might say to a good friend when they are feeling down or struggling with a tough situation. Treat yourself like you would a friend.

And don't forget that everyone makes mistakes. Instead of beating yourself up over regrets , focus on forgiving yourself , learning from mistakes, and seeing it as an opportunity to understand yourself a little better.

Practice Mindfulness

Mindfulness builds a greater appreciation of the present moment, including your feelings and perceptions. By becoming more mindful, you'll develop a greater awareness of what you're feeling and why you might be feeling that way. 

Mindfulness practices can help you reconnect with your inner self and learn more about how you respond to the world around you. As you build your mindfulness skills, you may start to notice situations that contribute to stress, negative thinking, and poor self-esteem .

As you develop a greater emotional awareness, you can also start to notice the things that give you strength and help you cope with life's challenges. That way, instead of responding with poor coping strategies or bad habits, you can rely on these strengths to build your resilience and recover from setbacks.

Talk to a Therapist

Some people may have a more difficult time cultivating intrapersonal intelligence. Barriers may hold them back, or they may encounter challenges when trying to do this on their own. Morgan recommends that people facing such struggles reach out to a licensed mental health therapist for guidance.

Therapy challenges us to voice our inner thoughts and emotions, which essentially helps us to better understand ourselves. People may feel vulnerable as they dig deep into themselves, which is why it is so incredibly important that people find a therapist they feel comfortable with. A really great therapist helps people understand themselves and work to accept parts of themselves that they often keep hidden.

Therapy can be a powerful tool for self-exploration. By working with a therapist, you can learn more about your experiences, thoughts, moods, and behaviors. Reflecting on yourself with the help of a mental health professional can provide insights and help you make important connections that you might not have otherwise noticed on your own.

Examples and Activities of Intrapersonal Intelligence

It's helpful to understand why intrapersonal intelligence is important and the role it can play in everyday life. Here are a few real-life scenarios where intrapersonal intelligence comes into play:

Setting Goals

When you set personal goals, it requires knowing what you want and the type of resources you have available to make those things happen. That takes self-knowledge. You also need to have a solid understanding of the things you want to achieve and how you can do it in a way that upholds your values, plays to your strengths, and sidesteps your weaknesses.

Start a Vision Board

Here’s a great idea to help you build greater intrapersonal intelligence and reach your goals: start a vision board ! A personal vision board is a visual representation of your goals and aspirations. It incorporates things that are important to you, such as images and quotes. This can be a great way to learn more about yourself and give yourself something to work towards.

Regulating Emotions

The ability to manage your emotions is a key component of intrapersonal intelligence. If you are struggling with this skill, it might mean that you find it hard to control or understand what you are feeling when you are under stress. This can lead to angry outbursts that can negatively affect your mood, relationships, and even your job.

Label Your Emotions

One thing you can do to cope when you are feeling overwhelmed by intense feelings is to give your emotions a name. Research has shown that labeling your emotions, known as affect labeling, can actually help those feelings feel less intense.

Expressing Yourself Creatively

If you want to create art, music, writing, or any type of expressive work, it requires tapping into your innermost self to find inspiration. When you have a strong sense of intrapersonal intelligence, it means you are able to draw on your inner world and channel it into authentic, meaningful creations.

Express Yourself

Journaling is a great way to get started if you want to strengthen the connection between your intrapersonal skills and creativity. Consider starting a creative journal where you record your thoughts, experiences, and reflections. Don't be afraid to get creative, and consider using writing prompts as a springboard for self-exploration.

If you want to learn more about intrapersonal intelligence, you may find the following resources helpful:

  • "Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences" by Howard Gardner
  • "Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ" by Daniel Goleman
  • "The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are" by Brené Brown

Online Workshops or Courses

You might also consider taking a course or workshop through an online provider like Coursera or Udemy. You might find classes devoted to specific aspects of intrapersonal intelligence, such as emotional intelligence, self-awareness, personal development, and mindfulness.

You might find it helpful to talk to a counselor or therapist to help develop and strengthen your intrapersonal skills.

Some types of therapy that may be particularly helpful for building a stronger understanding of your own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT).

Keep in Mind

According to Howard Gardner, intrapersonal intelligence is one type of intelligence that you might possess. This ability involves being particularly skilled at understanding your own thoughts, feelings, strengths, and motivations. Such skills can be important when it comes to setting goals and achieving personal growth, which is why taking steps to strengthen these abilities can be so helpful. 

Understanding your unique strengths can also help you make important choices in your life that will maximize happiness and success. For example, people with a strong sense of intrapersonal intelligence may enjoy careers focused on introspection and self-reflection. If you have this type of intelligence, you might thrive as an author, poet, philosopher, historian, inventor, psychologist, or researcher.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announces new AI chips: 'We need bigger GPUs'

thumbnail

  • Nvidia on Monday announced a new generation of artificial intelligence chips and software for running AI models.
  • The new AI graphics processors are named Blackwell and are expected to ship later this year.
  • The announcement comes as companies and software makers still scramble to get their hands on the current generation of H100s and similar chips.

In this article

Nvidia on Monday announced a new generation of artificial intelligence chips and software for running artificial intelligence models. The announcement, made during Nvidia's developer's conference in San Jose, comes as the chipmaker seeks to solidify its position as the go-to supplier for AI companies.

Nvidia's share price is up five-fold and total sales have more than tripled since OpenAI's ChatGPT kicked off the AI boom in late 2022. Nvidia's high-end server GPUs are essential for training and deploying large AI models. Companies like Microsoft and Meta have spent billions of dollars buying the chips.

The new generation of AI graphics processors is named Blackwell. The first Blackwell chip is called the GB200 and will ship later this year. Nvidia is enticing its customers with more powerful chips to spur new orders. Companies and software makers, for example, are still scrambling to get their hands on the current generation of "Hopper" H100s and similar chips.

“Hopper is fantastic, but we need bigger GPUs,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said on Monday at the company's developer conference in California.

Nvidia shares fell more than 1% in extended trading on Monday.

The company also introduced revenue-generating software called NIM that will make it easier to deploy AI, giving customers another reason to stick with Nvidia chips over a rising field of competitors .

Nvidia executives say that the company is becoming less of a mercenary chip provider and more of a platform provider, like Microsoft or Apple, on which other companies can build software.

"Blackwell's not a chip, it's the name of a platform," Huang said.

"The sellable commercial product was the GPU and the software was all to help people use the GPU in different ways," said Nvidia enterprise VP Manuvir Das in an interview. "Of course, we still do that. But what's really changed is, we really have a commercial software business now."

Das said Nvidia's new software will make it easier to run programs on any of Nvidia's GPUs, even older ones that might be better suited for deploying but not building AI.

"If you're a developer, you've got an interesting model you want people to adopt, if you put it in a NIM, we'll make sure that it's runnable on all our GPUs, so you reach a lot of people," Das said.

Meet Blackwell, the successor to Hopper

Every two years Nvidia updates its GPU architecture, unlocking a big jump in performance. Many of the AI models released over the past year were trained on the company's Hopper architecture — used by chips such as the H100 — which was announced in 2022.

Nvidia says Blackwell-based processors, like the GB200, offer a huge performance upgrade for AI companies, with 20 petaflops in AI performance versus 4 petaflops for the H100. The additional processing power will enable AI companies to train bigger and more intricate models, Nvidia said.

The chip includes what Nvidia calls a "transformer engine specifically built to run transformers-based AI, one of the core technologies underpinning ChatGPT.

The Blackwell GPU is large and combines two separately manufactured dies into one chip manufactured by TSMC . It will also be available as an entire server called the GB200 NVLink 2, combining 72 Blackwell GPUs and other Nvidia parts designed to train AI models.

Amazon , Google , Microsoft , and Oracle will sell access to the GB200 through cloud services. The GB200 pairs two B200 Blackwell GPUs with one Arm-based Grace CPU. Nvidia said Amazon Web Services would build a server cluster with 20,000 GB200 chips.

Nvidia said that the system can deploy a 27-trillion-parameter model. That's much larger than even the biggest models, such as GPT-4, which reportedly has 1.7 trillion parameters. Many artificial intelligence researchers believe bigger models with more parameters and data could unlock new capabilities .

Nvidia didn't provide a cost for the new GB200 or the systems it's used in. Nvidia's Hopper-based H100 costs between $25,000 and $40,000 per chip, with whole systems that cost as much as $200,000, according to analyst estimates.

Nvidia inference microservice

Nvidia also announced it's adding a new product named NIM, which stands for Nvidia Inference Microservice, to its Nvidia enterprise software subscription.

NIM makes it easier to use older Nvidia GPUs for inference, or the process of running AI software, and will allow companies to continue to use the hundreds of millions of Nvidia GPUs they already own. Inference requires less computational power than the initial training of a new AI model. NIM enables companies that want to run their own AI models, instead of buying access to AI results as a service from companies like OpenAI.

The strategy is to get customers who buy Nvidia-based servers to sign up for Nvidia enterprise, which costs $4,500 per GPU per year for a license.

Nvidia will work with AI companies like Microsoft or Hugging Face to ensure their AI models are tuned to run on all compatible Nvidia chips. Then, using a NIM, developers can efficiently run the model on their own servers or cloud-based Nvidia servers without a lengthy configuration process.

"In my code, where I was calling into OpenAI, I will replace one line of code to point it to this NIM that I got from Nvidia instead," Das said.

Nvidia says the software will also help AI run on GPU-equipped laptops, instead of on servers in the cloud.
