You know, I think the key to standing out, you know, as a student, uh, as well as a professional, is to focus on quality. And it's gonna be the, the, the, the quality of your mindset, right? And that's where things start. And, um, uh, so the quality is gonna go into the, the preparation or the technique, right, that you use, as well as the quality of the ingredients that are used to create this exceptional product, uh, that you are serving, right? Giving away or selling right to the public. And, you know, when it comes to being a student, um, for me, it was always, um, studying, you know, most efficiently, um, acquiring and really understanding the context, right, of terminology, of concepts, and then to practice those until I reached a, a level of proficiency, um, such that, uh, you know, I wasn't, um, too clumsy, right? As, uh, I was executing that particular activity. And once you become a professional, you need to really, uh, uh, you know, polish those edges and just keep on practicing. Repetition is huge, and even as a professional, you need to maintain your skills. So sometimes, you know, uh, doing things, um, simply to practice them because you do them so infrequently is important. It's important to, to keep, uh, your skills, um, nimble, right? And keep, uh, keep yourself on your toes.
