Okay, so there's a video going around Instagram, maybe other platforms that I know, and in it a guy says to another guy, hey, what would you say if I'm going to give you $10 million? And the other guy says like, great, yeah, thanks, thank you, I would love $10 million. And then the other guy says, but there's a condition, and the condition is that you don't wake up tomorrow. And the guy's like, well, Okay, no thanks. No, I don't want the $10 million. And then the guy was like, so waking up tomorrow for you is worth more than $10 million? Yes. The guy's like, yeah, yeah, I don't want it. I'd rather wake up tomorrow than have $10 million today. And I was just like, ah, like light bulb, aha. Like, how good is that? Like, it clearly defines how much you value waking up tomorrow.
