Philippe made so many trips in different disguises to the towers and observed as much as possible. He extensively practised rigging along with the teammates. He spent money and time to learn the construction of rigging the wires to the buildings.

Thank you, Papa Rudy, for suggesting the three bolts. I approach the first cavaletti, and it's upside down.

Petit crosses the first Cavaletti plate - He notes that the plate was upside down, but appears fine. Did you choose your work for the joy of sheer sake of doing it or for the rewards? 10. He believed that wire-walking action itself was worth seeking out again and not on the rewards. When Philippe practised wire-walking, he felt that the experience resonated with previous things which he had enjoyed doing. Are we keeping ourselves open enough to explore, attentive enough to note things below the visible surface?

He just kept his mind open for observation and understanding. His goals didn’t direct his attention to wire-walking. This accidental witnessing of wire-walking event imposed on Petit’s consciousness. He practised, practised, learnt and developed new skills, his attention to details grew further - it led to new challenges - it led to more practice - his interest deepened - he found a new purpose - he became passionate - it led him to a new self-identity. As he gained more skill, he increased the height of the rope from the ground. Petit taught himself to walk on a rope by stretching a bunch of wires between two trees in his home backyard and removing them one at a time. He was more attentive to the details and felt that the act was so enchanting and beautiful. Philippe was mesmerised, became attentive and got fascinated by the mysterious, dangerous act. There, he witnessed a wire-walker performing the tight-rope walk. One day, Philippe’s father took him to a circus. How did he then become a wire-walker? Philippe had no idea what he wants to be in the future - He had no goals that were different from other kids.
