And so and then I get the outcomes that happen eventually. But the point is and you probably I mean I already know you know this but the outcomes become so irrelevant compared to the reward that you get in the meantime because the people who are experts and this is from my my good friend Dr. Cashy. People who are experts at any skill become experts because they learn how to become rewarded from the work itself. And so like they don't actually have something that you don't.
