No matter the wind and waves, it's better than a leisurely stroll in my own garden.
Tips
history
From Mao Zedong's 《水调歌头·游泳》 (1956), describing his swim across the Yangtze: 不管风吹浪打，胜似闲庭信步。今日得宽馀。 The line pairs physical struggle against the river with the calm of a home-garden stroll, bravado that became a political catchphrase.
usage
Modern use is mostly sporting or rhetorical, to describe someone who handles a tough situation with evident ease. Pair with 不管风吹浪打 for full rhetorical force.
