Surgeons don't operate on family. Attorneys don't defend themselves in court. It's easier to present someone else's work than your own.
There's something about a feeling of detachment, feeling like your task is separate from yourself, that frees you from anxiety and unlocks a level of potential you never knew you were capable of.
