Diving into the water without an oxygen tank is called ‘free-diving.’ It is a form of apnea diving in which divers must hold their breath for an extended period while diving deep into the water with just one breath of oxygen. The difficulty in holding the diver’s breath during this time is not due to a lack of oxygen but rather an increase in carbon dioxide concentration. In other words, if you keep your heart rate low and your metabolism slow, you produce less carbon dioxide, which allows you to dive for a longer duration. The only way to maintain a low heart rate is to remain as calm as possible. Maintaining calmness has numerous benefits in life. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The value of one piece of bread is greater when you have only two pieces than when you have ten. The same principle applies to how we use our time. Age serves as a significant measure of how we perceive the quality of time. As people approach death, they tend to place a higher value on time. In other words, the quality of time spent varies with age. While mistakes made in your twenties can be overlooked, tolerating the same mistakes in your fifties or sixties indicates a different quality, despite the same amount of time passing. Growing older means gaining a deeper understanding of responsibility and acceptance. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
