When I was in my early 20s, I once saw someone get up from the floor without putting their hands on the ground, and I thought, What the hell! How does he do that?!

I've never been able to get up off the floor (and I meditate on the floor every night, so it's not for lack of practice) without using at least one knee and one hand.

If this test were accurate, I probably wouldn't have lived to 30.
