I was still making bad choices and not doing the kind of work that satisfied me. Things changed a great deal in the last two years, and now, I am confident about accepting challenges. I don't try everything and then see what works. I usually take time to perfect something before moving on to another challenge. That's why it has taken me this long to get this far."
