If there is no wind, row

If there is no path, make one.

You are not a tree; if you’re not happy, move!

These all seem to have the same theme, which is where there is a will, there is a way. Oops, there goes another proverb.

I guess the explanation is a bit redundant, as the proverb is quite explanatory. It is also said it is a latin proverb, which has lasted for thousands of years. If it stood the test of time and culture, then the essence must be clear and true.

Destitutus ventis, remos adhibere

And most of the time, the wind blows not in our direction of travel. So lets row, and row till the end.

Thank you for reading.

    We were watching a documentary of the missing Malaysian flight MH370 recently. It was quite interesting although a bit too dramatised for me. When we wanted to watch it, my wife and I said to our children that this happened years ago, back when the oldest of them was still in the womb. I also…
