In the story of the Trojan Horse, Odysseus devises a plan to win
the conflict with the Trojans. While the Greeks were strong, the
Trojans were stronger, and had great walls that made victory for the
Greeks very difficult. Odysseus, the most cunning or the Greeks,
devised a plan where the Greeks would feign surrender, and offer a
gift to the Trojans. This gift, the Trojan horse, contained the
entire Greek attack force. After the Greeks made it into Troy, they
made quick work of defeating the entire Trojan army.
This story
speaks to the lesson of brains over brawn. While the Trojans were
more equipped and prepared because they were in their own city, the
Greeks were still able to defeat them. Odysseus throughout Greek
mythology is shown as extremely cunning, and uses this to affect many
situations.

My dream journey involves retiring on a sailboat and going
anywhere the current takes me. Just as was done hundreds of years
ago, I would cross the sea and simply explore all that I do not know.
To me, the appeal of a sailboat is the limitless amount of
possibilities. One could sail the world for a lifetime and never
visit the same port twice.
