I need to charge it up at night. Sometimes I don’t know whether to charge my computer, my cellphone, or my leg. I think it’s a luxury to have problems like this.
    There is something fundamental about walking. People don’t really think about walking: “I walk like this, I’ve always walked like this.” They think it’s not going to change: If they’ve walked that way for thirty, forty years, why should they change now?
    But what they don’t realize is that change is possible. Everything depends on finding the right way to breathe, finding the most suitable way for you to breathe. Devoting a bitof time to feeling the air coming in and out of you. Once you find your way of breathing, you need to think about how this breathing can move your legs. Breathing and movement are completely related.
    Little by little you’ll find a way to walk. It’ll be different from the one you have at the moment. It’ll be a walk that’s brought into existence by the way that you breathe in and out. In lots of cases it will be a walk that’s so different that you won’t recognize yourself in a mirror, so different that you won’t think it’s you walking but someone else. Little by little, if you want, you can turn this new way of walking into a new way of running. But that’s something for the true initiates.
    In the end you’ll notice that finding a different walk, a different way of bringing your feet into contact with the ground, will cause something to be born within you. A feeling a little like happiness. This is the seed of laughter. This feeling, this sentiment, is what will transform into laughter.
    Little by little, without hurrying, extract and liquefy the laughter that has arisen from this way of walking. Try out the laugh that suits you best. Listen to it, first of all in your own home, in intimate surroundings. When you’ve decided on one, show it to your friends, laugh with them, without being scared, without being ashamed. Let yourself go.
    This is your laugh. All you have to do is exploit it to its maximum potential and, almost without your knowing it, this laugh will change who you are and how you enjoy life.
    We spend minutes deciding what we want to buy in a shop, hours choosing a car, months hunting for a house. But for something that is as intimate as a laugh, something thatdefines our character, our essence, our being, we are usually happy with the one that comes as a default.
    Remember, the list goes like this:
    1. Find a way to breathe. How? By breathing: by taking in and letting out air. Think about the way of breathing that defines you. Don’t think that you’ll find it in a day; give yourself a week at least. Enjoy yourself.
    2. Practice breathing like this as you move around. Let this new way of oxygenating yourself get all the way down to your feet. Walk fast, walk slowly, walk on tiptoe: whatever it takes. You’ll end up finding your way of walking; you’ll notice it when you do.
    3. Walk, and enjoy the feeling of walking. Do it for half an hour. This feeling of happiness can develop into laughter. What you feel is the material that laughter is made of. Laugh, smile, and fix upon a way of emitting the sound of your happiness.
    4. Practice this at home. Practice it with friends. It’s a good idea to imitate the way your friends laugh. A merry-go-round of laughter is very positive.
    5. Choose a laugh, and believe that this is something that defines you. Feel proud of your new acquisition and show it to people with pride. You’ve found a way of breathing, a way of walking, and a way of laughing. These are things that you should show off without any shame, just like a child does.
    6. Renew your laugh every two years. Every two years I change my leg and I’m lucky enough that when I change the way I walk I change everything. Our lungs evolve,they get older, but it shouldn’t be these that control the way we breathe; we’ve got to take control and be the ones who decide how we want to oxygenate
