So that was terrible.

But I'm definitely a believer that the ideal is to not listen to anything that anybody says about what you did and to judge it only yourself, you know.

And if you can, I think it's good to get a sort of an objective cross section.

You know, some things go out there and they sink without a trace.

Some things people really love.

But the bottom line is, like Paul Rink said to me, start the next one today.

Because it's a lifelong, like we were saying, it's for the love of the game.

It's a lifelong practice.

And a professional does not take success or failure personally, but keeps on going and does the next one and the next one and the next one.

Yeah.

I don't analyze it because I don't know if you can ever even figure it out.

And also so much of it has to do with in any thing that you put out with timing.

Are people, you know, is this, you know, ready the moment?

You know, how much does it get?

Did it get promoted?

Did it get, you know, did people even know it existed?

There's so many factors that are above and beyond whether it was actually good.

And I think you can only.

You can only ask, did you do your best?

Did you leave it all on the floor?
