It makes me uncomfortable.

And I understand better those that are incapable of it or worried about it.

than I do me that's very capable of it.

I mean, I certainly understand why you would be.

It's combative.

It is irritating.

It is often frustrating.

It is a lot of things.

I value those things.

I learn from bouncing off the walls of a bad direction or a mistake or whatever and course correcting and make less mistakes.

Look, there are some people for sure, relatively few, but there are certainly people who don't need to bother with that because they are brilliant in ways I'm not.

and they are able to seemingly not have any process.

That's where genius lies.

For those people that are, fantastic, my observation is they have other problems.

But for those of us who are not, particularly in something that hasn't happened before, now, you know, things that are very known, you can find guideposts.

But in the world that I am involved in, and the world that I'm most happy to be involved in, is where something isn't known and you are

making progress as you go, building a company step by step, an idea from whatever, wherever it comes from to whatever it's going to be.

The only way to proceed is in that world of unknown, of building something, is I can do it only by

bouncing off the wall, going a step forward, pushing back, being pushed back a half a step, and eventually making less mistakes and busting through.

I don't know who said it or whatever, but it rang for me very true.
