My parents gave me "Motivation" before I left for college. Below a beautiful picture of a rocky shore at sunset it reads, "If a pretty poster and a cute saying are all it takes to motivate you, you probably have a very easy job. The kind robots will be doing soon." Since the beginning of time, Americans have been inventing better ways of doing more for less, from Eli Whitney to Henry Ford. Revolutionary innovations often bring growing pains, but at the end of the day we adapt and move the world forward.
