It's been awhile since I've done one of these, so here's the background - what was the last most beautiful moment that you experienced? It's easy to get caught up in the grind and slog of all the things that are going wrong and should be going better - it seems that I'm there a lot of the time myself. But it's important to recognize that we're working to making things better, and to keep in mind the beautiful moments that inspire us.
In my experience, moving from theory to reality involves a very serious adjustment of scale - awesome ideas in theory take a hell of a lot of work to accomplish in reality. I'm lucky to have found a place where my work is increasingly focussed on small real accomplishments, but it's easy to get ground down in the details, and it's important to be able to step back now and then and say "That was pretty cool!". I come to DK for inspiration, and I always get great inspirational stories of moments of beauty here.
I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours!
