We spend a lot of time at work, right? This guy called Wayne Norrie, good guy, he drew a really terrifying graph a few years ago. And as I said, I'm 51, so I'm at the wrong end of this, right? He drew a graph where it was like 24 hours and 90 years. And then he drew a line, well, that's all gone. And then he drew the amount that you're asleep and then the bits that you're retired and potentially not able to move much. And there's this tiny little box in the middle that's left of your life and most of it you're at work. And it was quite a moment for me. I was like, actually, you've got to love what you do. You have got to enjoy work, you've got to enjoy it. And so you've got to have a bit of fun. I think that's really important.
