About the entry of holding patterns

hi guys, i have some doubts on the entry for holding patterns and hopefully someone can help me out with this...

So the atc will give instructions on the holding pattern, i.e
1. The name of the fix.
2. The cardinal direction of the inbound leg as it radiates from the fix.
3. The radial or bearing that defines the inbound leg.
4. The direction of turns.
5. The length of the legs.
6. An expect further clearance (EFC) time.

i am confused with "2. The cardinal direction of the inbound leg as it radiates from the fix. " ....? Can someone explain the difference between "hold south of the 180 radial " and the "holding north of the 180 radial" by drawing it out.....it has got me a hard time in visualizing the holding pattern....

Also i am wondering if there are other quick methods in visualizing the holding pattern? or the entry?

Thanks in advance!!
