Philosopher King I escaped from Alcatraz Island to San Francisco but Why? Let me tell you a story 3 years ago, I was Kayaking in Lake Tahoe. I didn't know how to swim and a Jetski passed by my kayak The Jetski created the waves and the waves grew strong The strong waves flipped my Kayak And I found myself battling underwater That day, the fear of cold, deep water, and hypothermia woke me up from my sleep. As I was thinking of touching the bottom of the lake in my swim back to escape the cold, What I thought was the last of me created a new me. 2 years ago, I swam from Alcatraz Island to San Francisco. To experience that fear of cold and death again. And let it pass through my body and mind - all over again. That experience taught me my uniqueness to turn adversities into advantages. So I practiced it over again. On 1st November 2022, I got laid off. I had 60 days to find a new job or leave the country. In 10 days, I became a writer - I published my layoff In 20 days, I ran a full Ironman race In 30 days, I found the job of my dreams This uniqueness that I have developed is to share and create warriors.
