Working File show

How do we know if we are doing enough? <br><br> Links <br> <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/">The New Yorker</a><br> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impostor_syndrome">Impostor Syndrome</a><br> <a href="https://www.typenetwork.com/news/article/victoria-rushton-fixes-things">Victoria Rushton fixes things for fun and no profit (Review of Victoria’s talk at the TDC)</a><br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhhXCuUG2pw">“Could Jesus microwave a burrito so hot, he himself could not eat it?”</a><br> <a href="http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheFixer">“The Fixer”</a><br> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existentialism">Existentialism</a><br> <a href="https://www.hillaryclinton.com/">Hillary for America</a><br> <a href="http://www.babevibes.com/">Babe Vibes</a><br> <a href="http://www.babevibes.com/the-pep-talk-generator/">Pep Talk Generator</a><br> <a href="http://5by5.tv/onthegrid">On the Grid</a>
