That's right. That's right. You've got to overcome it. You've got to solve it. I'll tell you one more on the same line of thinking. I was a Mormon missionary, which was a great privilege for me.

I really don't know what's going to happen if someone opens the door, okay? So luckily for me, when I arrived, you get a trainer, okay? He's another 19-year-old, but he's been there longer than you, so he supposedly knows what to do. Well, I had a pretty good trainer, and I like him. I look up to him.
