Good morning @samminator

Interesting choice of topic. I very much enjoyed your publication.

It is interesting that you used word 'sailing' when you refrer to challenges. I never thought about it this way. I would always think about 'facing head on' or 'overcoming' challenges. Which is more aggressive way of dealing with problems.
Thats my 2cents.

I like idea of sailing and simply staying above the water.

but because they are not prepared for it

Well said. Being prepared not always help, but not being prepared is surely an issue. You also mentioned that learning and knowledge can help overcome challenges. My experience tells me that most of the time we need PATIENCE and stay away from any emotional reactions.

ps. Good to see that you're still posting and being active in PH. I had longer break, however Im trying to find some time to get back to Steemit.

Yours,
Piotr
