So there's this story about Adam Sandler. When he was at nyu, his acting professor said, hey, I want to take you out for a beer. So he took him out for a beer, and he sits him down and he says kindly, I don't think this is for you. I think you need to find another path. And many, many years later, Adam Sandler just coming off a huge payday, it was at the kind of pinnacle of his career, and he was out with some buddies, and he ran into this professor. He was like, hey, guys, guys, come over here. This was the only professor that was kind enough to take me out for a beer. And I think this story just showcases the importance being kind. You spend your entire lifetime building your reputation, and it can go in a moment, just from a few actions. And a lot of the times in these situations, how you react to them says a lot more about you than actually being in the situation itself. So it's just a little bit of a reminder to be kind of.
