So myopia is essentially not being able to see long distances. For example if you gotta put on glasses in order to drive or bike, you have myopia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s actually super interesting is that as a kid growing up and up until now\u2026 Myopia is typically seen as like a really really bad thing, a really really negative disease which is actually very undesirable. But the truth is, I wonder if there is actually hidden benefits of myopia?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, having myopia\u2026 Like for example when I\u2019m doing hot yoga or lifting weights without glasses on, one of the hidden benefits is actually I\u2019m a lot less self-conscious? For example, I can\u2019t really see whether people are staring at me or judging me or sizing me up or whatever, and as a consequence, I stay more focused on my practice? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also a random thing that I discovered is that actually \ufffc,,, if I want to 1000% focus on something, I actually must take off my glasses?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example when I was attempting my 895.63KG GOD LIFT, which is essentially practically like very close to 2000 pounds\u2026 In order to just like, strip away all fear, noise and distractions, I actually had to kind of like squeeze my eyes really shut,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I think the way that a macro lens works is that, the focusing mechanism is set up in such a way that, it allows for a very very close focus. Actually kind of random\u2026 But my old micro 4\/3 lens, the very impressive Leica Lumix \ufffc12mm f1.4 ASPH lens,,, a few years ago when I was having all you can eat Korean barbecue with Cindy, the camera accidentally fell out of my bag and the lens hit the ground first, which caused the focusing mechanism to misadjust,,, not enabling focusing to infinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the hidden benefit that\u2019s kind of randoms that now, it almost has a hidden super power of focusing insanely close? \ufffc\ufffc<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
