And so what happened next after that?

So you did the first show.

then what happened after like did you do more shows yeah i started i started performing with with the wire maybe for two years i performed on the street on the wire and how many times did you must you must have done that like how many street shows or whatever it is you do daily or you do no no daily no daily especially in uh it was a seasonal work especially in summer

I don't know, I never take the count of a show of my walking.

Sorry, I'm not so fond of math.

But I know that the next one was in Florence and it was 40 meters high and maybe 60 meters long.

So a bit shorter, but higher, more than double higher.

But okay, after the first one I was ready.

It takes some time to understand that right now it's not a matter of how high is it.

I can deal with it.

So my mother used to tell me this when I was a kid and like, you know, I remember like, you know, she keeps telling me like she just recently passed away.

Success is something which is very infectious, right?

Because you basically, when you win once, it builds the confidence and then you forget the fear.

And then you basically like, you know, you want to take on more risk and then you're successful.

And then like, you know, then you take on more risk and then you feel it's almost like a reinforcing like mechanism within your own body and mind that makes you think that like, you know, you are able to do more and more.

And you're expanding yourself every time.

But failure is the reverse.

When something goes wrong, you begin to self-doubt.

And now you're caught in yourself and then you begin to self-doubt even more.

And then you never get out of that and never see the potential.
