If a Wind Is Blowing -

Sails are for catching winds and make them serve us.

It may help to turn the winds in your face into wisdom the sooner the better. This may not be recognised all over the world, but "The wind in one's face makes one wise," is a British proverb. It does not say that a windshield helps the car driver, but is usually understood in a figurative sense: "Adversity, misfortune, and hardship can make you wise", provided you survive the hardships, learn tall enough lessons from them, and make able use of what you have learnt and perhaps gather riches too - material riches in addition to wisdom of handling, making, transporting, advertising and further. q This reminds in part of: "Good judgement comes from experience, and experience from bad judgement" and "Good advice comes from bad experience."

Good and ripe judgement from bad and unripe judgement and "lack of luck" - it is possible, for one's own bad experiences are not the only source of wisdom and good advice. Far from it. It can be very good to learn from the mistakes and life courses of others, so that many good features may be studied and taken up and bad fares avoided, for example.

In other cases many people are unsure of the principles involved, if there are any. In such cases it may work well to keep conclusions unsettled, at bey, and not jump to any conclusion so far, saying, "I think the data are insufficient here and now." Something like that.
