obsessed person

By chance as a child, Philip came to the circus to see tightrope walkers. A feeling rose in his heart, as if he and the rope were the only ones left in the world, and no one else existed. That encounter changed the course of his entire life. He left his tightrope-walking parents to start his life as a street artist on his own, and it was from then on that he met people who shared his interests. He met girlfriends, met friends who were willing to help him realize his desire to "walk between the twin towers," and they practiced together, went to New York together, and completed the project.

When two artists who understand each other meet, both understand their dreams and sincerely support and help, and understand each other in an artistic way, such two people are destined to come together. Artists are relatively lonely, they are sensitive and fragile, yet extremely strong and persistent, because they have such an ideal world in their hearts and are unwilling to compromise with the world. That's why when most people say no to Philip, when everyone treats him as a lunatic, he still thinks it can be achieved, she never stops him, just silently assists. This reminds me of Jobs' reality distortion field - the reality distortion space, and Jobs had such a space. When this space in a person's heart is strong enough, it can really turn this fictional space into reality. This kind of belief and persistence will attract a lot of people who are willing to give it a try for you, even if they are not sure if it can be done. Philip either succeeds or falls off the top of the tower and shatters his bones. His partners were willing to do these things for him, and they were also infected by him. A person who is willing to give his life to this matter, what reason do you have to refuse?

When I finally walked between the twin towers, I thought Philip must be very peaceful. Unlike the previous performances, the laughing and cursing tourists under the lake distracted him. In this high sky, there is only him and his rope, and this is their ritual. Philip walked back and forth on the rope, enjoying the unparalleled tranquility and completion more than fear. As he himself said, I am an artist, not a circus clown. He made this a wonderful art, and he did it.

Believe it is the easiest and the hardest thing to do. Be willing to believe in yourself, and obsessively do all kinds of things to achieve the other side of your expectations, such a life is a happy life. I used to think it was hard to find something that I like to do. The older I get, the more I think it's not like this. It's actually very simple. It's just there. It's just that you may never want to admit it. It turns out that what I like is such a simple thing. Yes and no. Maybe you now see him as very inconspicuous and simple, it seems so. But when you make this thing the way you ideally look like, he is completely different, he must be dazzling.

What you like, what he is like in your ideal, go for it.
