Year: 2022 Language: English Author: Foerthmann P. Genre: History Publisher: tredition GmbH Format: PDF/EPUB Quality: eBook Pages count: 252 Description: IN THE SERVICE OF AEOLUS - Autobiography of a sailor A book about an entire life? That could easily go wrong. How is an author to decided what to include and what – if anything – to omit? Every recollection adds more colour to the tale and therefore has a claim to betold, but the reader needs a story to enjoy, not a faithful retelling of an entire existence. Somewhere there is a tipping point beyond which more information dilutes rather than enhances the experience, beyond which tedium replaces entertainment. Short cuts can be a handy recourse here. Throughout my life I have always been a fan of seeking out my own, faster way to progress. Doing things my own way has allowed me to set the pace of my life, to study, learn and acquire necessary skills at the rate that suits me and advance my cause and expertise with a rapidity that can sometimes leave feathers ruffled. I am motivated in many ways by the urge to please, but this impatience of mine has a tendency to undermine my efforts in this area. I have never really managed to keep everyone happy though and have been reminded, from time to time, that it is in ceasing to try to do so that I come nearer to independence and freedom. This realisation has helped me enormously: striking an effective balance in life is much easier with a clean, fair hull and no unnecessary ballast.
