Not Because They Are Easy, But Because They Are Hard
May 25th, 2011 by PotatoToday is the 50th anniversary of JFK’s speech at Rice.
My favourite part of the speech — I’m sure the favourite of many — is in the title. There are many situations where those words apply, from choosing worthwhile courses over electives with easy marks, to bike routes for your daily work-out.
My second-favourite part:
We have had our failures, but so have others, even if they do not admit them.

Well chosen favorites! I think I like the second one because it levels the playing field somehow. Even someone going around with an air of perfection has their flaws. Reminds me of when I was in highschool and getting picked on – my dad always told me to remember – ‘they poo too’. Perhaps JFK’s way of saying it is a touch more dignified… :)
