18.You may think that sailing is a difficult sport,but it is really not hard to learn it.You do not need to be strong.But you need to be quick.And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.First,you must ask yourself,"Where is the wind coming from?Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?"You must think about this all the time on the boat.The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.
Let's start with the wind blowing from the behind.This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction.Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat.It should be at a 90° angle (角度) to the boat.Then it will catch the wind best.
If the wind is blowing from the side,it is blowing across the boat.In this case,you must keep the sail half way outside the boat.It should be at a 45° angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind,but it shouldn't flap (摆动).It shouldn't look like on a flagpole.If it is flapping,it is probably out too far,and the boat will slow down.
Sailing into the wind is not possible.If you try,the sail will flap and the boat will stop.You may want to go in that direction.It is possible,but you can't go in a straight line.You must go first in one direction and then in another.This is called tacking.When you are tacking,you must always keep the sail inside the boat.

She asked my group of top-performing IWT readers-members of Ramit's Brain Trust-
what we'd learned from our parents and what we're GRATEFUL for.I included my response below.
![]() A few months ago we talked about beliefs we've had from childhood,many of them not so positive.I wanted to hear some more positive answers,so I presented this question. QUESTION:What is a specific lesson you've learned from your parents that you're grateful for? I realize that I am so grateful to my mother (far from perfect but REALLY unusual).She always goes exactly for what she wants to go for (aromatherapy,bowling,photography,getting her PhD,having a farm).I thought all women were like that but this isn't the case.

![]() I am grateful that my mom is a giver by nature.Watching her open up our home for many people,host/entertain,do favors without hesitation and give and give and give.It has allowed me to truly believe and see that it is better to give than to receive.

My response → | ![]() What a great question.Things I learned that I'm grateful for… -Value of working hard.Sitting at the table for hours practicing spelling-bee books and math homework. -Always open your house to anyone.Invite everyone over.My mom loves to make food for huge crowds,even if I call her 10minutes ahead of time and tell her I'm bringing 10friends over. -Cut costs mercilessly on things we couldn't afford (fancy clothes,cable TV,etc.) but spend extravagantly on things that mattered (anything education or sports-related). -So many more.Again,what a great question this is!
