Read the excerpt from "On Becoming an Inventor" by Dean
Kamen.
What conclusion can be drawn from the details in this
excerpt?
I decided to put his entire machine shop in our basement,
but there were two problems... One, his shop wouldn't fit in
our basement, and two, there was no way the lathe,
weighing fifteen hundred pounds, and the milling machine.
weighing two thousand pounds, could be carried into the
basement. I solved this problem by hiring a contractor to
dig a large hole, break open a wall of the basement,
enclose the addition with concrete and add a roof that
could be used for building an outside deck to the house
also enlarged my mother's kitchen and pantry. I now had
the entire machine shop in our basement. At the time I was
making enough money from my electronic devices to pay
for all of this
Kamen's family did not appreciate the enlargement of
their basement
Kamen's mother had complained about the size of her
kitchen and pantry.
Kamen's idea to enlarge the basement benefited both
his work and his family.
Kamen's machine shop still did not fit into the newly
enlarged basement.

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.
