It's from 14:26.859 --> 14:29.289 author James Minion from his book 14:29.289 --> 14:32.510 Chesapea . I'm sharing it with you now 14:32.510 --> 14:34.454 because it captures the essence of 14:34.454 --> 14:36.566 being a leader in the naval service . 14:36.566 --> 14:38.677 It captures the dignity of doing your 14:38.677 --> 14:40.399 duty in spite of the winds and 14:40.399 --> 14:42.232 prevailing current impacting our 14:42.232 --> 14:44.760 missions . In many cases , these winds 14:44.760 --> 14:47.200 and currents are things well outside 14:47.200 --> 14:49.200 our control and sometimes even well 14:49.200 --> 14:51.609 outside our influence . Mitzer said a 14:51.609 --> 14:53.890 ship like a human being moves best when 14:53.890 --> 14:57.010 it is slightly award , the wind , when 14:57.010 --> 14:59.130 it has to keep its sails tight and 14:59.130 --> 15:01.770 attend its course . Ships like men do 15:01.770 --> 15:04.103 poorly when the wind is directly behind , 15:04.103 --> 15:06.369 pushing them slightly on their way so 15:06.369 --> 15:09.450 that no care is required in steering or 15:09.450 --> 15:13.000 in management of her sail . The winds 15:13.000 --> 15:15.119 seem favorable , for it blows in the 15:15.119 --> 15:17.341 direction one is heading , but actually 15:17.341 --> 15:19.599 it is destructive because it induces a 15:19.599 --> 15:22.640 relaxation intention and skill . What 15:22.640 --> 15:24.640 is needed is wind slightly opposite 15:24.640 --> 15:27.309 opposed to the ship . For the intention 15:27.309 --> 15:30.070 can be maintained and juices can flow 15:30.070 --> 15:33.590 and ideas can germa for ships like men 15:33.590 --> 15:36.150 respond to challenges . All 5 of you , 15:36.460 --> 15:38.571 the best in the naval service , fully 15:38.571 --> 15:40.950 embody this principle . Each of you 15:40.950 --> 15:44.210 have stood . Of work to the wind and 15:44.210 --> 15:46.280 held true to our highest ideals , 15:46.409 --> 15:48.530 inspired your students and deniably 15:48.530 --> 15:50.729 preserve the peace while preparing for 15:50.729 --> 15:53.609 war , ensuring that our naval service 15:53.609 --> 15:55.776 remains the most lethal and survivable 15:55.809 --> 15:57.920 the world has ever seen .
