About 20 years ago, I had the idea to try doing something that everyone around me told me was impossible, ridiculous, etc. When I tried it, it worked. I was stunned. Back then the first thing I had to do was tell everybody! I got super excited. But of course between the external skepticism and the excitement, I could not do it again. Everyone chalked it up to coincidence. I realized that when I get too excited in specific ways, I disrupt myself by sheer virtue of that excitement. Since then, during sporadic experiments to repeat my results, I have repeated them - but only when I was convinced it wouldn't work. Which got me excited... which got in my way... which made me fail.
So don't do that.
So don't do that.
