This quote is about taking with you everything you have learned and experienced in life. Imagine you're leaving your hometown for a new adventure. You've grown up there, learned from your family and friends, and experienced many things. Now, as you move on, you carry all those lessons and memories with you. The "wind" represents change and new experiences, while "wisdom" is the knowledge and insights gained from others.
