I was misled at a tender age by Tracy Kidder's "The Soul of a New Machine," which emphasized how its central figure, Tom West, was "a good man in a storm."
I wanted to grow up to be a good man in a storm too. I did not realize that if the captain thinks the ship is full of good men in a storm, he will stop trying to steer around them

("Soul" is a great book, though. Still great forty years after it was written. Read it if you haven't, you can thank me later)
