So i called up my mentor, and i called up andy van dam. and i said, andy, i just gave a two-week assignment, and they came back and did stuff that if i had given them a whole semester i would have given them all as. sensei, what do i do? [laughter] and andy thought for a minute and he said, you go back into class tomorrow and you look them in the eye and you say, "guys, that was pretty good, but i know you can do better.” [laughter] and that was exactly the right advice. because what he said was, you obviously don’t know where the bar should be, and you’re only going to do them a disservice by putting it anywhere. and boy was that good advice because they just kept going. . based on this excerpt, randy pausch believes that his students need strict limits in order to succeed. are capable of completing any task. possess a great deal of potential. often change their life goals.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
