I'm so very confused about wind direction in the FMB

I just don't understand how to set the wind direction in the FMB. I've asked the question several times and always get different answers. Can someone fill in the blanks below, please?

I want the wind to come from 0 deg. = So I set the mission builder at __ setting.
I want the wind to come from 45 deg. = So I set the mission builder at __ setting.
I want the wind to come from 90 deg. = So I set the mission builder at __ setting.
I want the wind to come from 135 deg. = So I set the mission builder at __ setting.
I want the wind to come from 180 deg. = So I set the mission builder at __ setting.
I want the wind to come from 225 deg. = So I set the mission builder at __ setting.
I want the wind to come from 270 deg. = So I set the mission builder at __ setting.
I want the wind to come from 315 deg. = So I set the mission builder at __ setting.

....and answer this question.

The wind is always given from the direction that it is coming from, example's: 0 North, 180 South, 90 East etc. This is also true when watching your local weather station on your TV at home, or reading a government weather map on your PC.
