GovLoop Challenge! Can We Name 1,000 Awesome Things About Gov't?
I'm listening to Neil Pasricha, author of "The Book of Awesome," at the Next Generation of Government Summit.
And I feel inspired to see if we as a GovLoop community can come up with 1,000 awesome things about government - could be reasons why we work in government, awesome things happening at your agency, good things that government has accomplished over time (not just in US but anywhere, anytime), cheers for our colleagues and co-workers who are doing awesome things, whatever's awesome - big and small...
Sky's the limit!
Are you up to the challenge?
Let's do it!

33. Despite the amount of interns (including myself) entering the government who are unclear about their role or how to manage their career, we persist. We endure. We succeed.
34. Our ability to unite to a larger mission across agencies, aside from our differences, despite the negative public opinions, in an effort to make our country better for us all.
