The video was pretty powerful too. I think adults should try to hold on to their childlike joy as they strive for "more" too. Great point. The video was pretty powerful too.

(I don't get the privilege of earning a competitive wage though.) I always try to keep my focus on "what the best way to do this?" while also peppering in "how should we conduct ourselves (within a workplace, class, family, society at large) as we do this?" I love gadgets and trying new things, but there are some basics -- old tricks -- that always remain in my repertoire. I try to do this with my parenting as well. Let's hope I'm getting it right.
