Setting our sails to launch
We cannot affect the wind’s strength or direction. We cannot
change the force of the tide. However, we will reach our
destination through the wise use of what we can affect: the set of
our sails!
- Pick a destination/Where do you want to end up?
- Check for obstacles
- Adjust your course to account for obstacles
- Alter the course when things go wrong
- Sail in a worthy ship
