Silvereagle,
Prior to take off, look sideways out of the windows
Why? You are right - this is where you need to be when landing. But it's not where you need to look.
I'd suggest looking forward, along the runway, before taking off - because that's roughly the picture you want to see during the flare. In a tricycle it's not exactly the right picture, because the nose will be higher on landing - but it can be useful anyway. But I think that to suggest that the view out the side is at all relevant is mis-leading. However, it obviously works for you, so I won't dis-count it completely!
