Temple Grandin

04:47:00

Our brains are extraordinary. They allow us to remember images, sounds, smells, numbers, and bring back memories from years before. They make it possible for us to learn, speak, write, communicate, and survive. Their individual structure put us in categories of predispositions, making some of us science and maths-oriented, others: artists, soothing our senses; skillful parents and teachers, bringing up generations of the future;  businessmen, creating jobs for millions; doctors, immune to the disgust of blood and guts, and engineers, building everything from nothing. Our minds made us survive millennia and push our civilization towards the better, healthier and stronger. For some, being a genius means failing at other aspects of life adjustments, as you cannot achieve anything without sacrifices. Temple Grandin, a woman who revolutionized the cattle industry, despite being a woman in a man-dominated world and in spite of suffering from autism. Enjoy.

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
