Read the following excerpt from an essay. Many ask, "What brings happiness?" There are various possible answers to that
question, which makes it difficult to answer, but I have a few ideas about what
doesn't bring happiness. What doesn't make people happier is earning more
money so as to acquire more personal possessions. Perhaps for those who reside
in developing nations, being wealthy might improve the quality of life, but for
people in industrialized countries, does being richer really create more
happiness? Once you get to a certain level of comfort, having more possessions
isn't the cure for unhappiness.

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.
