What is the meaning of a second wind? Why not a third or fourth wind?
There actually can be a third or fourth wind.A second wind occurs when you are doing something that requires effort and you suddenly get a new energy to do it.In sleep, it happens when a person hasn’t slept for a while and is very tired and all of a sudden seems nondrowsy and unable to fall asleep again. Its the result of the sleep-wake pattern in our bodies cycling through periods of sleepiness and wakefulness, regardless of whether we’re sleepy or not. All of a sudden our cortisol levels rise and our melatonin levels start to fall and we feel a new burst of energy.“Winds” also refer to peaks of endurance in athletes and may also be described as a runner’s high.As the periods of wakefulness come, it is possible to get a third or fourth wind.Hope that helps somewhat.In the meantime, I will send you a link to some cool sleep products you may want to check out.Good luck and enjoyAll Products
What does "fair winds and following seas" mean?
It is known to me asRoyal Navy toasts of the dayIn the navy there is a toast for each day of the week. Normally these toasts are used at special occasions and mess dinners, but they may be used at any time. The toast is typically given by the youngest person present at the gathering. (AKA the young Snotty)The Royal Australian Navy also upholds this tradition. The toasts are;Sunday - "Absent friends"Monday - "Our ships at sea"Tuesday - "Our men", now "Our sailors"Wednesday - "Ourselves (as no-one else is likely to concern themselves with our welfare)"Thursday - "A bloody war or a sickly season"Friday - "A willing foe and sea-room"Saturday - "Our wives and sweethearts", now "Our families"Another point to note. Whilst the Army and Airforce stand for the Loyal Toast to His/Her Majesty, the Navy remain seated. This harks back to the days at sea with the Wardroom having relatively low head space.

"Don't try to change the wind--change the sails" meaning?
In the days of sailing ships, sometimes the wind blew from the wrong direction. As there was no way to make the wind blow from a more favourable direction, sailors had to adjust the sails accordingly in order to stay on course. In this saying the wind represents a problem that might occur in life, such as finding yourself in the wrong job, being badly treated by a boyfriend or partner or another situation which makes you unhappy. Rather than trying to change the person or situation causing the unhappiness, change the way you tackle it. For example, if you're being bullied at work, don't try to become friendly with the bullies or suffer in silence in the hope they'll stop. Keep a bullying diary instead and report the whole thing to Human Resources - or change your job. People have to be adaptable to overcome problems, in other words.
What does “You’re the wind beneath my wings" mean?
Wings of themselves do not lift the creature. They require the dynamics of atmosphere to push against in order to get the lift. The phrase is a metaphor for the person, you, is what the other person needs in order to get lift in a way of attitude to attain the high “altitude” of joy. It is also a way of saying “you complete them and or their need.”It is very much a complement and indication of their feeling of need to have you in their life. A very choice position to be in with respect to another person.

"If you reveal your secrets to the wind you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees." Meanin?
