It’s One Day
That’s the viva: one day after many days.
A few hours after several thousand hours.
One conversation after many conversations.
One more challenge after many, many challenges.
Your viva is a few hours on one day. A conversation that matters. A real challenge after you have already overcome a lot of challenges. It’s not trivial but nor is it so far above and beyond anything you’ve done and everything you’re capable of.
You did the work over many thousands of hours. Show up and do a little more.
