The midbrain, which is responsible for social connection and belonging, should also be addressed by highlighting the value of the message to others.  Stories are a powerful tool in communication as they convey values and provide meaning to the audience.  Opening a presentation with a question or half of a story can create interest and engagement from the audience.  Fiction, particularly science fiction, can shape and change the world by introducing new ideas and perspectives.  When starting any endeavor, it is vital to follow your interests and passions, explore different opportunities, and always look for beauty in every situation.
