A massive oil tanker was sailing through stormy seas one dark night. Then the pilot saw a light in the distance and advised the captain. The captain said, 'Signal that we are approaching and they are to turn to port side.' The signal was sent, then the reply came back, 'Advise that you turn to port.' The small light in the distance was getting much closer. The captain instructed another signal, saying 'I am the captain of this ship and I insist you turn to port.' The response to that was, 'I am an able seaman and I instruct you to turn to port.' By now, the light was very close indeed. Furious, the captain flashed back the message, 'I am the captain of this vessel and I demand you turn to port!' Then came the response: 'I am a lighthouse and YOU must turn to port!'
What's your 'lighthouse'?
