Olivia's job looked glamorous to Kevin, her neighbor. He knew that she made a lot of money, and she always had a busy, important expression
on her face as she hurried to catch the train to the office-or a plane to
another city for a conference. She also had a wardrobe full of fancy
clothes that she didn't need for any reason other than work.
One day, Kevin walked by Olivia's house and found her in grungy
sweatpants. "I've decided to quit my job, Kevin," she told him. "I'm
starting a house-painting business. I won't make as much money, but
I'll be so much freer." She was beaming.

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.
