TUNES AND YOUR BRAIN
So why is music so enjoyable for us?  Again--your brain knows:

"Whether it's the Beatles or Beethoven, people like music for the same reason they like eating or having sex: It makes the brain release a chemical that gives pleasure, a new study says.  The brain substance is involved both in anticipating a particularly thrilling musical moment and in feeling the rush from it, researchers found.  Previous work had already suggested a role for dopamine, a substance brain cells release to communicate with each other. But the new work, which scanned people's brains as they listened to music, shows it happening directly."
As I always say, we with Moebius Syndrome aren't surprised at anything we find out about the brain...
HOW TO NAIL THAT BIG JOB INTERVIEW
Many of us with Moebius Syndrome and facial difference worry about this and have to think about this, whenever we seek employment or want to seek a new (and better!) job.  (And don't be afraid to seek something new and better!)  So how can we be a hit at the big job interview?  There are lots of good tips here---and here is one of them:
Present yourself as the solution to a problem, says Charles Purdy, senior editor of Monster+Hot Jobs.  "Employers create jobs and fill jobs because they have problems to solve. It's up to you to analyze what those problems are by analyzing the job ad or by just using what you know about the company or the industry and present yourself as someone who is ready and equipped to solve the problems that the open job indicates."
Say and do something positive that will help the situation; it
doesn't take any brains to complain." -Robert A. Cook
