Chapters
Some of the best life advice I ever got, believe it or not, came from a skydiving instructor who's been skydiving. All right. Pretty good. So when you go. I went to my lesson to learn how to skydive. And the skydive instructor had two pieces of advice. The first one was, when you go up in the plane and you're at 14,000ft and you're standing at the door going like this, looking so far down that the ground looks like a painting, every bone in your body is going to be screaming, don't jump. His advice was, have courage and jump. Okay, file that one away. The second piece of advice he had I didn't expect, which is, he said, after you jump and you roll over and you look at the plane flying away, you quickly accelerate to over 200 miles an hour. Your adrenaline shoots through the roof. It's going to sound like a freight train. Every single one of your senses is going to be overloaded. And sometimes what happens when you get to the bottom and you're standing on the ground? People don't remember their jump. They were in such sensory overload, they don't remember their jump. His advice was, in the midst of all the noise, the adrenaline, the fear, slow your brain down and take mental pictures. Slow your brain down and take mental pictures.
