- Get down to details, picture this tree in your mind. And now. Open your eyes and start clipping, clipping, and tying, make this tree look like your, you know, what you had pictured in your mind. And Daniel says something to the tyranny of how will I know what's right. And Mr. Miyagi responds, if it came from you, it's going to be.

- Maybe i's worth your time to close your eyes and just think about where you want to be. What, what do you want to do? Where do you want your career to head in what direction would you like that to be? And maybe it's something very specific. Like I want to be the best alignment. In town. you know, I want to make this much money or maybe not even a dollar a month.
