SAILING AWAY


"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.So throw off the bowlines.Sail away from the safe harbour.Catch the trade winds in your sails.Explore.Dream.Discover."

It's pretty dangerous to accept statements at face value without analyzing them first.Of course sailing way,sounds very,very exciting.But Mark Twain forgot to tell us that many ships which left the safe harbour and caught those winds returned, all in a total shipwreck.Of course some ships will not return, because they discovered the winds were too powerful and they really had little or no expertise to steer the ship out of the merciless,unforgiving storm.The result? Many ships found its way to the bottom of the ocean and to lay there for ever.Think carefully before you sail away from the safe harbour.Better to be safe and feeling at home in familiar turf than to be sailing away without having a clue as to your destination. Vijay- The Midnight Owl.
