And I took my notebook to the darn meeting. And what's amazing is I stand in front of you today, 40 years later, with the notes from that meeting. And at the top I wrote the date, April 3rd, 1984. Those of you that are taking notes, and I know people don't take notes no more, that's a mistake. Take notes, not only in your phone, Because I don't know the stats on taking something in a phone, but I do know this. When you're working off your phone, a lot of crap pops up on it during the day and you will get distracted. When you write in a notebook, there's some stats, I'm not gonna try to give 'em to you, but when you write something out, you have a higher probability of remembering it than if you just don't write it down or type it in a phone.
