If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable.
— Seneca
When it favored a ship coming into port, Ancient Romans would say the wind was ob portus.
The Latin phrase gives us our word opportunity.
We think of every opportunity as something a "good wind" blew our way.
But like Roman seafarers, you have to have the port in sight before you can gauge the wind.
Know where you're heading before you assess an opportunity.
You ain't no Forrest Gump.
