And I eventually cured myself of that. And that just gave me a little bit more warmth in my personality. And I didn't change. I wasn't even aware I was doing it.

I agree. I mean, look, I feel that why I think this message hopefully will get some traction in the marketplace is is that it's really not that hard. It's not that hard to figure out five or six things that you're doing that you could change really easily.
