So I would say it's because I don't have a choice.

I would also say it's often annoying.

Like as a kid, I just wanted to fit in.

I just wanted to fit in.

I remember one year before like seventh grade, my mom and I go in the mall and I'm just like, let's only buy the clothes that I know the other kids who I'm not like wear.

And I went to school wearing those clothes and it's like, they still could tell.

What?

What a ripoff.

And so, you know, but as you learn how to be yourself, you know, I think the things that hold you back when you're younger are your strengths when you're older.

And so it's just now it's just kind of just how I, it's like my gate, you know, it's how I walk.

And it's often annoying.

I think anytime you're having to like, whether you want to or not confront some obstacle or overcome, you know, I'm left-handed and I'm having to learn guitar or whatever.

There's like all kinds, like so many things, but like that,

that extra step deepens your, way deepens your understanding of that thing.

And ultimately I think like really accelerates the exceptional, like your ceiling even.

In a way that again, if you're just like following

following the path, doing the right things, you arrive at like, oh, you're a professional.

But yet someone else might be the entrepreneur that like, yeah, you're the SVP at a big company, but they have made their own company.

And I think a lot of it is like, yeah, that... I mean it the opposite of this way, but some people come out wrong.

Like, I came out wrong.
