When the host suggested picking some jackfruit, Sonya was quick with an excuse : 🐰"I don't really feel like eating today." Apparently, she just didn't want to get off the boat and pick it herself, so in the end, Lookmhee ended up losing and had to go pick it...

Katie Ledecky says she didn't medal in Tokyo for the first time in 36 international races, and had under an hour until the next one. "In the Tokyo Olympics, I had two medal races about 70 minutes apart." "The first was the 200 meter free." "I'm still not quite sure what happened, but I just felt off." "It was my 36th international race, and the first time I didn't medal." "And I had under an hour to get ready for my next race, the 1500 meter freestyle." "I knew I'd have to dig deep and fight." "I remember I was in the warm down pool, my brain was clouded with doubt, and I kept telling myself to relax." "I had to find a way to shake things off and focus." "That's when I started to think about my grandparents." "I envisioned my grandmothers watching me on TV back home. I pictured them cheering for me." "And if I were going to dwell on anything in those difficult moments, it was going to be on the toughness and warmth of my grandmothers." "For nearly every stroke of that 30 lap race, I just repeated their names. Grandma Hagan, Grandma Berta, Grandma Hagan, Grandma Berta." "And it worked. I swam with a sense of strength and freedom." The instruction she gave herself in that warm down pool was to relax, and she says plainly that it didn't work. She kept telling herself that, and her brain stayed clouded. What she found instead was two names, and she said them on nearly every stroke for 30 laps. You've probably tried the relax version, in the twenty minutes before something that matters, telling yourself to calm down about it. She had a whole race in front of her and she spent it on her grandmothers. - Katie Ledecky (Katie Ledecky) at Stanford Commencement (Stanford University)

Carrie Fisher said something in an interview that perfectly captures how creative instinct works. She was asked whether reinventing herself as a writer was a conscious decision. Her answer: "I don't think I've made many conscious decisions. I make most of my decisions in my sleep." She didn't sit down one day and declare herself a writer. It was a slow evolution, pulled forward by what she actually loved consuming. "I wrote fiction, which is what I read. And now I write screenplays, which is what I watch." That's a principle worth sitting with. She was simply doing the thing she already did for pleasure. The writing path itself began almost accidentally. After an interview in Esquire, she was approached to write a non-fiction book. That fell apart. She couldn't even remember the format she was supposed to write in. "Essays or something," she said. "See, you can't even think of the name for it. That's why I couldn't do it." So she did what made sense to her and wrote fiction instead. The screenwriting came the same way. But what most people don't know is that Fisher was doing script work decades before it became widely known. She learned punchup by necessity, not by design. On the set of Star Wars, she and Harrison Ford were handed dialogue that simply could not be spoken aloud. She described telling George Lucas: "You can type this, but you cannot say it. It'll take a couple of minutes for the nava computer to calculate the coordinates." She said it took 20 takes. Out of self-defence, she started reworking lines. Ford did the same. That habit eventually turned into a career doing punchup for major Hollywood films, helping writers fix dialogue that looked good on the page but died in the room. And then there was the work she wrote for her mother, Debbie Reynolds. Two television pilots, neither of which ever aired. Her reason for wanting to work with her mother is one of the more honest things ever said about family dynamics in Hollywood. "The main thing I want to do is work with my mom so that we don't have to have those Christmas dinners anymore. Just have a job with her and you can order her around." It didn't go the way she planned. Her grandmother showed up and bossed both of them around and, as Fisher put it, "got all the money."
