Hi, Laura. To me, scanning and validating are like learning to play
a musical instrument. Your first efforts will be somewhat rough
because you're learning. Then, in a gradual way, almost without
noticing, you will begin to do things well and without major effort,
just like the day that the awkward fumblings on a piano or a guitar
begin to be recognized as music. Soon you will know what to do and
can focus on the pleasure of reading and relishing the feeling of
accomplishment because you've also done something to help someone
else. This is like playing a song so beautiful that you're ready to
dance. Finally, your music will inspire others to dance as your
scanning work inspires people to change their lives or see the world
in a new way. Don't be afraid to try and fail because that is the
first step toward making a difference. Making mistakes only shows
people that you're in the game and willing to learn. I made some
pretty big ones when I first came here, and you'll have to work to
top them. (grin)
