Please bear in mind that you're reading the words of a
World Championship Sloth winner here, but I am genuinely interested to know how, or perhaps when, you were filled with what clearly must have been a very strong impulse to dedicate yourself and sacrifice so much for this goal.
Is it a fair question to ask also, how much of your motivation was doing this for your country? (And should I just divide that figure by the population to obtain my own claim to your fame?
)
I really appreciate the insights. All the best.
