[music] What's your biggest fear. Close your eyes for a moment and think about it. Now, let me guess.Is it the fear of dark. Is it the fear of darkness or the fear of heights. For me, it was water.Yes, water, something that covers 70% of our planet, something we need to survive with, was my greatest enemy. I was 3 years old when I discovered my nemesis.
