Or, hey, the basics are simple.

We can get these back.

But the basics are important.

So you take a very small room.

Hey, I just want to turn on this display and change a video switcher.

hone your skills on that with the Python.

Yeah, you can get it done with a couple of clicks on the mouse, get it done in two minutes.

It might take you a day or two in Python, but then you start building new skills.

Recently, I heard a...

I think he's a motivator speaker now, but he was a high school basketball coach.

And he was giving the story that Kobe Bryant, we all know Kobe Bryant, one of the greatest basketball players out there, very talented.

This coach was actually invited to a coaching camp that Kobe was at.

And he got up early one morning, and he's watching Kobe practice, 4 o'clock in the morning.

And he's running basic drills.

Same drills this coach ran with his high school team.

Same drills the coach ran with his rec team, you know, five, six, seven-year-olds.

Now, yes, Kobe was doing it at a higher level, but same concept.

So the coach went up to him and go, you're one of the greatest out here.

Why are you wasting your time with the basics?

And Kobe's response was, I am one of the greatest because I focus on the basics.
