Each of us is dealt a unique hand of tastes and aptitudes, like curiosity, ambition, empathy, a thirst for novelty or for security, a comfort level with the social or the mechanical or the abstract.

First I 'see' where I want it to finish, nice and white and sitting up high on the bright green grass.

Then there is this sort of fadeout, and the next scene shows me making the kind of swing that will turn the previous images to reality.” WantFirstsKindShowsRealityTurnsNextWhitePracticePathFocusNiceColorSceneShapesBehaviorShotsSittingBallsGreenGolfGrassSwingsShow MeLandingTrajectoryGreen GrassSitting Up Author:Jack Nicklaus
