Explanation:

The question above is related to the speech entitled "Achieving your Childhood Dreams," by Randy Pausch.  

Along his speech, he mentioned about his childhood dreams of playing in the National Football League and becoming an author of an article in the World Book Encyclopedia. However, he didn't pursue such goals in life and by mentioning it, he wanted the audience to know that "mastering the basics is key to achieving goals."

Although he had a coach who'd helped him master football, he still didn't become part of the NFL. However, for him, he was able to have a valuable experience which he treasured.

Such experience allowed him to master the basic skills which are very important in achieving one's goal.

So, this explains the answer.

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.
