My dear,

Weather is neutral. It’s neither good nor bad. It just is. What’s bad about it is how prepared you are for it.

The snow isn’t bad if you have a warm jacket or house and a cup of hot cocoa. The scorching heat isn’t bad if you have an air conditioned house and a cooler filled with ice cold beer.

There is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing.

Same goes for fortune.

There is no such thing as bad fortune. Only inappropriate expectations and reactions.

Falsely yours,
Sir Ranulph Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes
