Life is like sailing
Great when you have the wind in your sails.
Relax in the sun but watch for the unexpected.
Keep a compass close at hand and don't be afraid of the open water.
Sail upwind as far as you can get before 60.
Run downwind after 60.
Wash up and clean the decks when you are ready to go.
