Adventure

Knowledge is courage and experience. Does anything else fall under this category?

In a moment of Old Spiceness, there is one more thing:

Courage + Experience = Knowledge
Courage + Experience = Adventure
Therefore, Knowledge = Adventure.

In a sense, the whole road to becoming a gentleman is an adventure. However, in order to tackle the life around you with the attitude of a gentleman, you will need all the things that knowledge provides, including a sense of adventure. Now, that doesn't mean that you should immediately pack your bags for the African savannah and try to wrestle a lion, or pull out your Indiana Jones hat and practice cracking a whip while on your way to an archeological dig. Adventure isn't all film and actresses -- it's a satisfaction with what you have found in life, and daring to continue after whatever else you desire. It's the knowledge that there's something else out there, and choosing to find out what it is. Adventure doesn't have to be guns and spies; it doesn't have to deal with beautiful women fawning over you in a club. That's the adventure that some men choose, but very few are able to keep up such a life. Any event can be an adventure if you make it so -- it all depends on how you view the task before you.

The adventurers in movies spend a lot of time in stark terror and running on adrenaline. While this isn't the most healthy way to be adventurous in real life, that is what a lot of people see a normal adventure as.

So they're not adventurous. And then they look back on life and ask, "Where did I go wrong? What else could I have done?"

Answer: everything.

Why try to do everything?
Why not?

What's holding you back from your adventure, gentleman?
