Achieving The Impossible (2010)
Context: I resolved to follow my dream. I wanted to push every boundary. I wanted to swim further than anyone else. I wanted to cross seas and round capes that no one had dreamed of swimming before. And I wanted to swim in waters that were so cold no one thought it was possible to survive in them. And though it promised to make me poor and would take away the security provided by a career in law, that didn’t worry me.
“Simply pushing harder within the old boundaries will not do.”
Karl E. Weick (1936) Organisational psychologist

“I don't believe in failure. It's not failure if you enjoy the process.”
Oprah Winfrey (1954) American businesswoman, talk show host, actress, producer, and philanthropist
“I just want you to enjoy a point of view that I enjoy.”
Alan Watts (1915–1973) British philosopher, writer and speaker
Alan Watts, on Zen (2015) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eh-3FJs2pz8 <br class="br">Context: I want to make one thing absolutely clear. I am not a Zen Buddhist, I am not advocating Zen Buddhism, I am not trying to convert anyone to it. I have nothing to sell. I'm an entertainer. That is to say, in the same sense, that when you go to a concert and you listen to someone play Mozart, he has nothing to sell except the sound of the music. He doesn’t want to convert you to anything. He doesn’t want you to join an organization in favor of Mozart's music as opposed to, say, Beethoven's. And I approach you in the same spirit as a musician with his piano or a violinist with his violin. I just want you to enjoy a point of view that I enjoy.
