Notes
listen to this extraordinary TED talk where a man modestly explains how he held his breath for over 17 minutes, then immerse yourself in this mix

the take away for me personally is how ironic it is that in midst of all the doubt and shame brought on by his own ambition and excitement, he was still able to achieve his goal; only after he quit caring about whether or not he succeeded
