Here are two Henry Ford quotations that have inspired me and helped me live my life both before and after injury.
"You are right whether you believe you can or cannot do anything."https://techemirate.com/sites-like-aliexpress/
"I'm looking for a group of [people] with a limitless capacity to not know what cannot be done," the speaker said.

You can’t change the whole world, and you certainly can’t change other people, but you do
have the ability to change yourself. You can have a positive impact in your job, the people
with whom you work, and the entire organization…the choice is up to you. –Cherie CarterScott ..
TBI - Traumatic Brain Injury Resources
news.google.com is a pretty informative source. I have an alert configured where news items that contain "Traumatic Brain Injury" get sent to my email, so I guess I see some of the cool news stories in mainstream media. I might've missed the brainline citation of "the prevalence and efficacy of facebook as a means of social media use among TBI populations," but I had another colleague who knows about my interest key me about that particular citation. I like Google Plus better as a place to exchange information, as it is not as insular as perhaps facebook might seem.I've read some reports of employers wanting to get access to prospective employees facebook accounts for some investigations, or whatever. I don't know that it goes on very much in small businesses, or large businesses, but I'd think that it probably does not go on in governmental agencies. Maybe I am wrong, but I'd think that many governmental agencies want to hire capable talent.
I've had a TBI. since May 21,2011 but I'm getting through this alot better than I though I would! I thank god for not taking me. Everyone that cared about me is glad I'm still here!

1981, car / bicycle collision. Coma 53 days. I want people to recover. I think we can introduce more injured people to computer mediated communications technologies, and I think the outcomes will generally be positive from providing additional ways to interact with and be part of this connected world. I was 11 years old. Recovery was a longer process. I was airlifted to Norfolk General. I think I had the distinction of being one of the first airlift medical transport patients.
One of the big elements to recovery is to continue showing up at events, and interacting with others, you won't get back to where you were, but you can go further. It requires taking a different path. Some of the previous roads may be closed for now.
+Arlen Meyers, MD +Bernadette Coleman -- Hello, I am a traumatic brain injury survivor (30 + years ago). I realize that computer mediated communications have progressed a lot. It would be neat if there could be a more systematic, organized effort to provide some training to some patients who could benefit from such interaction, at least to my way of thinking.I achieved a Master's degree in library and information sciences. I recognize that recovery from/adaptation to TBI is a long process. There are many things which need to happen first, but I still think it would be neat if there were more computer skills training with an emphasis on computer mediated communication which could be folded into some life skills training.
Yes, Donna, I did get my Mater's Degree through some interaction with my State department of Vocational Rehabilitation. I think it's a win-win, because they (VR counselors) want to help place disabled individuals into jobs which they can do (as I understand things). For me, I guess education was a relatively easy path. I enjoyed attending classes. I started wanting to major in English with an emphasis in writing, I wanted to be a syndicated columnist, I think it would be awesome, but that didn't really happen, I changed majors after coming to the realization that I'd need to read James Joyce, and other big classic works. My reading speed was slow. I changed my major to religious studies, but I made clear to the VR counselor that I really wanted to get my Master's Degree in Library Sciences. My VR counselor said that it was out of the ordinary, but she would try to secure funding for tuition and books through my Master's Degree. I started as a librarian at a VA Hospital right out of University. It was a temporary position, but I was offered a full time permanent job working with computers because I was helping the library move forward with some technology initiatives, and I brought enthusiasm for the internet and computer mediated communications along with me. The federal Government has been a good employer.
