Publisher's Synopsis
"The pursuit of excellence is most worthy." There are only three sports: bullfighting, mountain climbing and motor racing; all the rest are merely games." - Ernest Hemingway "The world would have you agree with its dismal dream of limitation. But the light would have you soar like the eagle of your sacred visions." Alan Cohen "The Zone is where you find your best performance and everything flows. I believe you have to push the limit of an activity to get this kind of experience." from www.overdrive.com "When you're writing there are times when you feel it's a bit of a struggle. However, at other times you're in what is called 'the zone' and writing just feels effortless. This happens when finding the right words is no longer a struggle; but this heightened state, as with most crafts usually comes with practice. Then words simply flow into your head faster than you can write them down (or can press the keyboard). But you have to really push your writing limits to get this kind of experience. " Then later you look what you've written and think: "Bloody hell. That's good. Did I really write that seemingly without much effort? Wonder where all that came from (a cerebral thing or "outer space"!" - A "nony-moose" writer "The greatest mountain we need to climb lies in our own minds". It's not the highest mountain that we conquer, but ourselves, our own mentality. Overcoming perceived limits to reach (attain) the pinnacle of our own minds." - craig (as inspired by the words of Sir Edmund Hillary, conquerer of Mount Everest (1919-2008) "The Zone is where you find your best performance and everything flows. I believe you have to push the limit of an activity to get this kind of experience. You have to practise to find the Zone. If sportsmen repeat this often and practise going step by step into a spiritual state... a lot of sportsmen have worked hard on their mind and many have worked on a spiritual path." "In his finest moments Ayrton Senna found tiny glimpses of a Heaven on Earth to which we can ALL aspire, with or without a pit-pass, as we shall see..." - Clyde Brolin writing in in his fascinating book 'Overdrive: Formula One in the Zone.' ( web site: www.overdrivef1.com ) "The untapped potential in every human being is limitless: we are perfectly capable of producing, all by ourselves, true magic." - more powerful (and great) writing from Clyde Brolin in his excellent book 'Overdrive: Formula One in the Zone' (web site www.overdrivef1.com ) "I want to write the way Gilles Villeneuve drove and power-slid his blood-red Formula One Ferrari with wild enthusiasm and a sense of abandonment, combined with the artists craft of a Stirling Moss, a Jim Clark, and especially that of the great Ayrton Senna, living on the razor-blade edge of life." "Having pursued the goals, the dreams set before us and run the race with persistence and endurance, after giving it all. Then one day standing on the summit of life, breathing in the pure sweet oxygen of achievement, totally satisfied in running the greatest race, the race of life one that ANYONE can run and win." c 11/11/11 from www.craigsquotes.wordpress.com "Together, one mind, one life (one small step at a time), let's see how many people (and lives) we can encourage, impact, empower, enrich, uplift and perhaps even inspire to reach their fullest potentials...and strive for and perhaps one sunny day even achieve their wildest dreams."
