You and being able to accept, in our case, being able to accept coaching, being able to accept instruction, and then taking positive action to improve. That's a big part of our culture, but the way you articulated in the book was fantastic, and it really showed a strong commitment to that. That's obvious in Bridgewater; you do a lot of that.
