“Bohr’s discovery led to the practice of increasing CO2 tolerance. The longer you can hang on to carbon dioxide in your system, the more oxygen you’ll be able to utilize, and the more oxygen you’re able to utilize, the more energy you’ll have available for whatever it is you want to do.”

“If you want to maximize minimal potential and become great in any field, you must embrace your savage side and become imbalanced, at least for a period of time. You'll need to funnel every minute of every single day into the pursuit of that degree, that starting spot, that job, that edge. Your mind must never leave the cockpit. Sleep at the library or the office. Hoop long past sundown and fall asleep watching film of your next opponent. There are no days off, and there is no downtime when you are obsessed with being great. That is what it takes to be the baddest motherfucker ever at what you do.
Know that your dedication will be misunderstood. Some relationships may break down. The savage is not a socialized beast, and an imbalanced lifestyle often appears selfish from the outside. But the reason I've been able to help so many people with my life story is precisely because I embraced being that imbalanced while I pursued the impossible dream of becoming the hardest motherfucker ever. That's a mythical title, but it became my compass bearing, my North Star. p111”

“The point is, there are no definitively good or bad things that happen in life. Not everything that looks like progress necessarily is. Not everything that looks like tragedy necessarily is. Only time will tell whether something falls into one category or the other.
Time ... and your attitude.
The way I see it, you have two choices when you're in the dirt.
You can roll over and die. Or you can dig in and grow.
The choice is yours.”
