“To reach (our goal), we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it. But we must sail and not drift, not lie at anchor.”

– Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., physician

Love the sailing analogy Bogdan.

I really think a lot of my early mind-set came form sailing as a youngster, and competing as a young man.

Right along these lines, Napoleon states in Chapter 2 page 37"...begin at once,
whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action".

This is number 5 in the Six Steps to convert your Burning desire inot its physical equivalent.

A boat resting in Harbor can be full of Stores and Cargo in the Hold. but it is of no use to anyone, until you are on board and manning the Helm,for either a smooth sail with the wind, or the thrill of beating into it.
Trying to get as close to the wind as possible, but still have forward movement a manifestation of acquired Skill, through studying and practice.

Remeber always, those who strive for Perfection, end up working for those who don't

Thank you Bogden. Never drift or stand still.

I like to quote the childrens song which is really a lesson for
anyone in life:

Row row row your boat gently down the stream...

Notice it says "down the stream". If you choose to go up the
stream then you fight the current. I have done this most of
my life and it is a hard way to trod.

In life a lot of people go down the stream with the current
and some actually achieve great success this way.

My up the stream tactic has not made me rich, and it has
been difficult every step, but I would have it no other
way. Along the way I have managed to teach a few
people how to take the path of least resistance.

If you know adversity you can help others that are
experencing this. Mother Teresa never got rich
because she was rowing up the stream, but her
rewards are great. She managed to help thousands
before her death.
