This shocked me because I did not know that Uncle Sahil almost had quit playing and that he still spent so much time practicing.

The beautiful music did not happen by accident and was the result of hard work.

I decided that I would spend more time practicing because I wanted to be able to play well, and for the next six months, I worked as hard as I could on my music.

I was pleased to find out that the harder I worked, the better I became.

Finally, I was ready to do something that I had dreamed about.

Uncle Sahil and I were going to play a duet together at my piano recital.

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.
