i have no astounding physical abilities, nor do i have outstanding iq. i don’t have photographic memory, nor synesthesia. i have no special abilities at all. i can be what i am because i can concentrate. take sprinting for example. i erase thoughts like what my chances are or what i might achieve by winning. i just concentrate on the sound of the starting shot. but when it moves at only 340 meters per second, the speed of sound is too slow. i start running at exactly the same time the shot resounds; i try to be ahead of the sound. i don't think unnecessary thoughts. that's why i have no memories of the time i was running after the race.
