MULTIPLE CHOICE / Will Impact On Other Homeschoolers / Will Mark Brainliest Ryan never understood how he could lose to his brother in a bicycle race every single time. Even though James was the older brother, Ryan was taller and stronger. It didn’t add up in Ryan’s mind—he should be the victor. After several sleepless nights trying to figure it out, he decided to get his brother’s advice.

"It's because you’re afraid of losing," James said.

Ryan realized that his brother was right. During every single race, he had been focused on not losing. Instead, he now knew, he needed to simply focus on giving it his all. Ryan needed to go out there and race his race without overthinking the outcome.

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.
