Ames, IA

Yahoo! thinks that Ames is in the top ten places to live in the U.S. Ames, IA came in at number nine actually. I would like to think that the revisions of Campustown and Main St. have a lot to do with it but maybe they see something I don't...

See for yourself:

Intern

My sister sent me this, someone else wrote it, the link is below...



I realized then that we all need to act like interns.  Interns wear their dreams on their sleeves.  They approach life as amateurs, doing a task for the love of it.  Like stray cats, they insinuate themselves charmingly within the ranks, rejecting their place in the hierarchy.  What they lack in experience, they make up for in enthusiasm and will.  

There’s a reason that so many professions are finding themselves challenged by outsiders and novices.  Those who are willing to embrace the role of the fool have the perspective and the power to reinvent industries.
