That was what my Navigation Teacher told me. Nautical navigation can be interesting.
Wine, women, & song....that's trite.
Remember Conan the Barbarian:
Mongol: The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist, and the wind in your hair.
Mongol General: Wrong! Conan! What is best in life?
Conan: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women.
Mongol General: That is good! That is good.
Man what's better than women & sex?
