Share a story about someone who had a positive impact on your life.
He was the author of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. I liked him because of our shared interest in philosophy and shared love of motorcycles. He had a diagnosis of schizophrenia, and through his life and works demonstrated that you can have an active and fulfilled life with such a serious condition.
I like the story of how when going over the Rockies on his Honda, he stopped to adjust his carburettors’ needle jets to allow for the altitude’s change in atmospheric pressure.
I tried the same thing when crossing the Pyrenees over from France to Spain, and it didn’t make the slightest difference. Doh! 😩
Love Pirsig though.
