We are recording our podcast from our studio at Home2 in Charlotte, North Carolina, and it has been a hot week outside with temperatures hovering around 100° each day. And, it looks like it will extend into next week also. We are continuing to learn how to balance our daily client work load with the addition of creating our daily journal and podcast for Wisdom-Trek. At times life can be stressful, but we are gaining momentum and efficiency each day. I would like to thank each of you who takes the time to either listen to our daily podcast, read the daily journal, or both. It is appreciated.
As we continue our Trek today, we come upon a grass airstrip nestled among the mountain peaks, and it brings to mind how precise our flying would need to be in order to locate and land on this strip. From the air, it would be nearly unnoticeable. This got me thinking about how crucial it is that we stay on course when flying. A mere 1° off course could have a significant impact on whether we reach our destination safely.
You might think out of the 360° in a circle being off by only 1° is not a big difference and for a very short distance, that may be true. Let’s look at what that means if we are hiking or more significantly flying.
Consider this. If you’re going somewhere and you’re off course by just one degree, after one foot, you’ll miss your target by 0.2 inches. Trivial, right? But what about as you get farther out?
Over time, a mere one-degree error in course makes a huge difference!
