ANY PLACE, ANY TIME
Too many people have their life on hold waiting for the perfect
place and time to work on their dreams. Unfortunately, if
you don't work on your dreams every day, they will never happen. You will simply run out of time.
There is no perfect place and time to work on your dreams.
When I lived in Arabia hundreds of miles from the sea, common
sense said it was a bad time and place to work on my sailing trip
around the world. On the other hand, uncommon sense said it
was an excellent time to study celestial navigation. I could
learn star, sun, moon and noon sights, and even practice
dead reckoning while exploring my desert realm. After all,
if I could navigate in the desert, then navigating on the ocean
would be a breeze. Furthermore, Arabia gave me an
opportunity to save up Freedom Chips to finance my adventures.
In my short lifetime, I have visited. lived in, and worked in over
thirty countries around the world, and every one of those
places were perfect for working on my dreams.
After living for nearly six decades, I can unequivocally state
that every time is a good time to work on my dreams. It
doesn't matter what my age or stage in life, I can live as if my
dreams are possible and work each day to make them happen.
Whatever your age, and wherever you are, you should be working on
your dreams.
Any place is the right place and any time is the right time to
make your dreams come true.
Long tail boats have a small
automobile engine balanced on the stern with a belt-driven
reduction gear spinning the propeller at the end of a long
hollow shaft. There was no transmission or reverse gear.
If you needed to back up, it was time for paddle power.
Cooling water is taken directly from the sea through large hoses
mounted on the stern, and unmuffled exhaust makes the engine sound
like a teen-age hot rod. When the boat driver fires up his
engine, you hold on for dear life; in a few seconds you will be
slicing through the waves in a Thai boat rod.
