So, I was literally stressed to the point that I was not feeling like getting out of bed. And literally the situation was happening. I was imagining the worst and the worst and the worst and the worst. The biggest, biggest, biggest, biggest problem which I did was not having the data. Not having the data. I don't want to make it very specific in terms of what was it. But really, not knowing the thing and then worried about, oh my God, was the dumbest decision I did yesterday. Today, I sat down, built up the courage, warning, energy, to check the data. I checked the data and I was like, things are not right. So, yeah, next time you're worried, make sure you're worrying about the right thing.
