@hassansaeed817: Life lessons from Dhivehi farihi ‘Dhiyavaiy Rangalhu Odi’ is a metaphorical twin of Scott Barry Kaufman’s revised rendition of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. THE WATERTIGHT VESSEL If the sail of the watertight boat is potent Take no turn even the waves become violent, If keeps moving in this speed before arriving to leeward Pull the ropes of the sail and control the boat onward, The rough weather of June and July in the face But the boat must not be decelerated of the pace, Is this rudder of a superior wood? Then check the bow if good, The horizon darkened and veiled up Aye! it has spread overhead piled up, O boys! if keeping up with the downward rope of the sail Then at the right moment belly the sail, The rocky shoreline side where waves break Thunder and lightning more frequent struck, O boys! stay strong on the sea with unshakable firmness Grasping the rope of sail to the mast in readiness, The belly of the sail on the waters dipping Screeches from the top of the mast hitting, The passageway is approaching well nigh Move slowly to the windward side high, Dreaded by surges swelly Seeing the shallow waters turn milky, The darkness of the sunset stretches above Go and stand up an able boy on the bow, Seeing many islands over the clew of the sail Approaching and becoming bigger and closer while, Before the wind hurls down over the island Look to the beach line for a cove of the land, O boys! in this moment of somnolence Take up the anchors and fasten up the rope securely hence, Can't see the solar halo untill the morning breathes out Oh! tell me not to take my boat from the cove out.
