"Success soon palls. The joyous time is when the breeze first strikes your sails, and the waters rustle under your bows"

This quote speaks to the suggestion that success is fleeting and that one of the most wondrous minutes come from the anticipation of success. The expression "when the wind initially strikes your sails" is an allegory for the moment when one begins to pursue an objective. The "waters rustle under your bows" is an allegory for the enjoyment and also anticipation of the trip in advance. The quote is a tip that the most wonderful moments originate from the expectancy of success, not from the success itself. It is a suggestion to relish the moments of anticipation and to appreciate the journey, not simply the location. It is a suggestion to value the tiny successes along the road and to take joy in the journey, not just completion outcome.
