Ever since walking along a beaver dam in childhood, Violet had engineering #aspirations, but the #terminal degree at the community college was an associate's degree--not a good enough qualification.
"You could work with Smitty," her dad said. "He builds houses."
But Violet dreamed bigger: bridges. road systems. environmental landscaping.
She knew what she had to do. One night when the moon was waxing, she went to the beaver pond. Maybe they'd take an apprentice.
Husband blessed me with an early birthday present! A new tablet with a drawing stylus! Here's my first attempt at digital art. Having *soooo much fun*!!!! 
Maybe someday I'll be as good as @peggycollins !
@smallcircles Please add “input” to this Do Not Use list. When we do work, and we seek to include other people‘s #values and #ideas and #opinions and #creativity and #foresight and #intuition, let’s not call that response “adding input” to a system process. I don’t want your “input” on my ideas in this post. I seek to #understand your #thoughts and #feelings and #experiences and history and #aspirations and #expressions of #beingness. For #dialogue, let’s allow a #GhostInTheMachine. #animism
L’idée que les jeunes – catégorie souvent définie de manière floue – ont un rapport différent, plus distancié, au travail fait partie de ces idées aussi communes dans le discours ambiant que difficiles à rattacher à une source précise et fiable. Grâce à une enquête Opinion Way pour le compte de Kéa sur les représentations du travail des 16-45 ans, nous montrons au contraire une grande homogénéité tant dans la relation au travail que dans les priorités données au salaire et aux conditions de travail par rapport à l’autonomie ou à l’impact sur la société

~ Giant Tortoises ~
These astounding reptiles can live 100+ years, measure up to 5 feet tall, and weigh up to 900 pounds. The longest-lived captive Giant Tortoise was Adwaita, who was reportedly 255 years old when he died in 2006.

#US national security adviser #Sullivan and #SaudiArabia’s crown prince #MBS meet to discuss ‘semi-final’ security deal
That included “a #TwoStateSolution that meets the #aspirations …of the #Palestinian people”
#KSA has long called for an independent Palestinian state to be created along #Israel’s 1967 borders, with East #Jerusalem as its capital. However, that likely may be untenable for Israeli PM #Netanyahu, whose government hinges on support from hard-liners.
This sentiment is so perfect. And the illustration is great.

Bent and filled the Dreams and Aspirations CCCFL today!
I am liking the packaged marketing words in about to go in a retail environment. I under filled this like a cheap imported beer sign so it would all fit on the little 5kv transformer I have in the bulb body. We shall see how long it lasts.
Hey I guess if it fails it will just be "hopes and dreams". I should bend one of those to have ready.
Scientists Discover New, More Effective Way To Coach and Inspire
A study utilized neuroimaging to analyze brain responses to different coaching styles, revealing a conflict between how people view their ideal self versus their real self. The researchers found that focusing on an individual’s aspirations and future dreams, rather than on their immediate problems, facilitates positive growth and reduces resistance to change.

A photo of a vinyl room from today's paper. Just how good is this? There's a well-stocked bar tucked away in the corner and a nice Les Paul hanging on the wall also...

@cabel if only my company was more like yours. #envy #aspirations 
I have low #aspirations, all I want to do is #ChangeTheWorld for the better. 
But as #JamesBaldwin puts it, "The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way a person looks or people look at reality, then you can change it."
And that is why I believe a better #SearchEngine could change the world.
