Ricardo, you just put words in my thoughts that I don't know how to explain when having such problems. Thank you for this video! Amazing

I waited ansiously for this video, and it was exactly what I felt a few months back when I decision was being made, and had a different idea like the green arrow, I kept quiet about it, and had to be responsible for keeping quiet and suffered the consequences... Thanks
