ONCE UPON A TIME IN A SAILOR'S LIFE

Reference: My FB Post dated: 4 October 2020

Travel to me is my livelihood....
Never mind how long precisely with having little or no money at all in my purse, I would be able to see the watery part of the world....
The profession of sailors has been known since time unknown..
My ancestor was once a great seafarer....
The secret behind being successful in the sea is nothing but to keep things as simple as possible....
No matter what, a calm sea never made a skillful sailor.. the art of the sailor is to leave nothing to chance...A skilled sailor did not acquire his skills by sailing only in the seas which are calm...If the sea is always clear and calm then the sailor will not know how to handle a storm when it hits. With every new challenge the sailor encounters, more knowledge and skills are gained…....
We must remember that in order to learn and achieve goals, we must face obstacles.
It is not that it is the ship that ensures a successful voyage. It is always the attribute of the skillful sailor who sails the ship.
As a sailor you will not be defined by how many seas you had sailed and how many ports you had been to.. but you would be defined by how many storms you has overcome.... there are things which we learn when there is a storm....
We cannot control the wind, but we can control the sail....
Remember...the sea has no place for cowards..
Honore de Balzac says, "A woman knows the face of the man she loves as a SAILOR knows the open Sea."
"To reach a port, we must sail-sail, not tie at anchor...Sail, not drift...."
(Franklin D. Roosevelt)
