So what takeaways are you going to give them? Might be slightly contradictory, but really try to avoid setting five year targets for yourself, especially in the environment that we're in. Trying to go a little bit more with the flow. What do you like to do as a individual? What gets you up in the morning and if that is striking the best FX deal, then go do that. If it's something completely different, then you should do that. The feeling that you have in terms of your work is key, but then also be a little bit strategic about what, what you don't want to do. So I gave the example of saying the many years I've been in cash management at that time, three years is max. That I will give myself more in that type of role because then I would fear to be seen as a dinosaur or whatever in that industry and be conscious about that. If you told yourself that's what you want to do, then after two and a half years or three years, you need to then evaluate. Is that still your position? Is this now the time that you need to go do something else?
