You don't need to study all the time.
I remember I would have a movie on and I'd just be studying.
Especially, our system was very based on exams.
You'd have testing at the end.
And during those two weeks, I literally studied morning to night
all day, every day, more than anybody else I'd ever met.
Like none of my friends were doing it.
My family wasn't doing it.
And, you know, people in my family who got good grades weren't doing it.
I was the one who was doing it.
And I always had this math of like, if I study this much, then I can play video games for this long.
And I still have that math in my head.

And that's what, you know, these are all patterns that have been with me since I was a kid.
And they helped me, obviously.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah, certainly.
