What is happening, guys? You know, I want to keep this video nice and short. This is going to be the last one for 2018, and what a year it has been. I mean, I just wanted— I wanted to just make this purely to thank you all. I mean, at this time last year, I was reflecting back. I was driving Uber, studying my own AI master's degree, trying to— trying to figure out where I would end up, not sure what I was doing making videos, but now It's amazing what a little time and effort can do. And I really, like, I've got no script. I'm just going straight from the heart, straight from the fly. I can't thank you all enough for the support over the past year or so. Whenever you join the channel, if you're new here, welcome. It's been an amazing journey. I honestly couldn't have done it. Like, I started making these videos as a as a way to keep myself accountable. And now it's become part of the journey. It's actually probably the leading reason why I keep doing what I do, the studying data science, staying fit, is to create to learn, to learn to create. They're the two things I really, really enjoy doing. And so what's gonna happen for 2019? Who knows? I think I'm gonna keep going with what I've been doing If you have any suggestions, leave a comment below. I won't be able to get to it for a little— for a few days because I'll be on holidays with my family. We're actually packing up now. It's— the house is a bit of a mess at the moment because we're trying to pack it all in. We're going to an island. We go there every year as a family. It's a really good time to just chill out and think about what's next. And I really enjoy it because it's like a— It's like a way to reset the year. So, it happens at the back end of every year and what I plan on doing there is thinking about what I'm going to do for 2019, right? I usually go over there, reflect on how I've spent the year prior. So, I'll go over, think about what I've done this year and then plan out 2019, plan out next year, what I want to do. But I think it's going to be similar to what I've been going.
