As the plans for the updated bridge displayed on the screen, Entrepreneur Paul Atkinson looked on casually. He wore jeans and a jean jacket with the sleeves removed.
Another man, Diego Pablo, looked at Atkinson. He wore loafers and dress pants and a suit and dress shirt with no tie.
“If you like this design, we can go forward,” Pablo mentioned.
“No, no. I respect the fact you have already sketched it. This bridge will be a boon to my construction investment.”
“Okay, so….”
“Can we make it look like it has wings? Not like other bridges but personalized that makes it unique?” Atkinson asked.
Pablo prevented himself from fuming. He cleared his throat and walked around the large oak desk. He ran his right hand through his hair. A platinum and diamond pinky ring traveled the distance from the front of his scalp to the nape of his neck.
“Okay. O-kay. We can go back to the original. That had more of a feel for the feeling of flight you’re going for, right?”
Atkinson leaned in and focused on the previous one. “I do see that, now. There is a line that extends….”
“So we’re going with this one?” Pablo asked, his teeth clenched.
“I think it would be beneficial. Just think…it takes the sole individual to craft these wonders and a whole team to collaborate. But everyone is still an individual, just in their own way,” Atkinson pondered.
“Yes, of course. We have to congratulate the teams for they are the real heroes,” Pablo interjected.
“No. I’m not saying that at all. The prime mover is the one who translates their brain power onto a sketchboard and then releases it to the team. It begins with builders.”
“I see.”
“Have them draw this up and we’ll be great.”

A video conference barred the books from flying off the shelves. Only digital copies remained. Audio helped, too. The book signing process had been streamlined so the author didn’t have to leave his house. Dr. Strong had just published his latest work, Grindnomics. It detailed an economics lesson from someone raised in the streets and spoke of the goals and aspirations that had led this particular individual to financial heights. Though thoroughly nonfictional, the book read like a narrative and boasted strong reviews. The digital meeting from his home allowed him to sign copies with a stylus, his hand suspended in the air like a conductor waving his baton.

How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.

Good story! You should put a book together. That would be so awesome 🌹🌹
that is a lot of chapters to backtrack towards...sounds riveting though, ego versus patience.
