John,
My in-laws are in Hawaii. They live in Kauai, within a couple hundred yards from the beach. And here I am participating in an online conference after spending all day reading and writing papers on psychology.
And, yet, I get my satisfaction by imagining that in some way I will help people who stutter. Not to become PERFECT speakers, but to reduce their internal and external symptoms enough by collaborative, constructivist psychology so that they can be fully participating members of society. Being able to have careers of their own choosing. To empower them to advance up the chain of command as far as they want to. Do what they want to do both on the job and off the job..
As the old Calypso song says, I let "All day all night Mary Ann, sit on the beach shifting sand…"
I really think I am a determined, optimistic soul, who believes I will be able to help…
If I can achieve that, it will give me more satisfaction than a thousand days and nights on the beach.
