At the end of the movie, what he says is, all I need to do is wake up every day and face the next problem and knock it down. And then move on to the next one and knock it down. Right?

You know, because it just keeps— because in the adoption phase, the list of problems just keeps rising and rising and rising. And it grew, it got bigger before it got smaller. But Asnaglis is a great example of the Valley of Despair. What happens with the snag list as you get into a new project, it grows and grows and grows and grows, and then you just keep persistently at it. And about 2 weeks after you hit the valley of despair, you realize, I have fewer things on my snag list than I did 2 weeks ago.
