That's great.

Making sure we're both on the same page.

And then it happened so quickly.

And then from that moment to when we were married was like three months.

I love that.

Yeah.

So if you want to ask, because in fact, Steve Jobs shares this story of how when he was young, he was about 12 years old and his neighbor was the head of Hewlett-Packard.

And one day he just asked, he said, can I come in and learn some things?

Can I just come into the office?

And he said it was that ability that he had to just ask, because 99.7% of people will not ask.

They will wait for someone to tap themselves on the shoulder to give them the opportunity.

They will wait to get the promotion or get given the raise.

It doesn't work like that.

We don't live in that world, especially in the context of work, where studies have found that, especially in big organizations,

managers don't remember at least 60% of what their teams do.

They either don't know or don't remember, which means if your manager is not aware of what you're delivering, you need to ask for what you want and demonstrate it by way of tangible value, right?

Here's what I'm delivering.

Here's what I'm asking.

So we have to ask.

So that was wonderful advice from my mom.
