So for example, one of the things that'll happen for like a student who's taking, uh, a test, you know, a real ser-serious student who's taking a test.
So they go in there, they take the test, and as soon as they get out of the test, they don't digest the test and move on.
In fact, you'll see if you come out of any high school classroom, any college classroom, the top students, they huddle as soon as the test is over.
In fact, they wait for each other outside the door, right? And then they sit around and they talk.
"Oh my God, what did you say for that one? What did you think about that one?" "Oh, you know, right when I got out of the test, five minutes later, it hit me.
I should have written that." Okay? So this is a characteristic of like, uh, anybody who's, um, anybody who's seeking excellence in anything.
Oh, I wish I could just go back in and just fix that one thing." Why? Why are you worried about? The test is done.
No, because they w- they want to be excellent in, in what they were pursuing.
Even someone who cooks a dish, right? Sometimes somebody who cooks a dish, they, they're sitting there and running in their mind, "I sh-- Uh, next time I can make it, I'll put less salt." Or sometimes they make the same dish the next day because they want it back and it's easy to reproduce the next day, right? I would have put a little less salt.
So this is the nature of people who are seeking excellence in whatever they do.
They quote-unquote, "Run the tape." Now, why are we discussing this? Because obviously we have bigger fish to fry.
