. >> i encountered his work as an undergraduate.n you encounter it, you start to see it everywhere. you see it in yourself. i sat at a blackjack table and thought to myself, i'm due. i'm due. and i feel the feeling that i'm due as powerfully as you could feel anything. and i know it's dumb and totally wrong and i should get up from the blackjack table. >> imagine how you feel after you've had a couple of drinks. you know, it's absolutely right. people go with that feeling. anyway, so these mistakes that they kind of -- i feel like them charting in searching for the kind of errors that the mind made, they were actually kind of describing human nature. they were telling us about ourselves in ways that a novelist might tell you about yourself. that's what interested me. it touched every aspect, any sphere of human activity, the mind is involved in everything. >> they also sort of fascinating relationship, right? so there's this friendship that's sort of opposites in different ways, temperamentally. >> very much opposites. >> that produ

entire summer, actually, studying at the university, studying vietnamese and i was living in this undergraduate apartment. so it's good be to back on a different scale. in 2008, the reason i was studying viet namese, i was traveling to viet nam and writing short stories but that the sympathizer so i would start out reading one of the paragraphs from nothing ever dies and this is actually a commentary on both the books. i was born in vote national but made in america. count myself among the viet namese -- i count myself month those american whose don't know what to make of vietnam and wand to know what to make of it. americans as well as many people mistake vietnam as honor or dishonor. the confusion led to my own uncertainty what it means to be man with two countries and inheriter of two revolutions. today the vietnamese and american revolutions manufacturh memories only to on solve the heardenning of their arteries tom who have been inflictionedwh by the revolution we have to know how we make memories and forget them so we can beat their hearts back to light at that time is the project or at l

. >> but this guy isn't that different from the undergraduates we saw at mizzou -- >> you're making quite a leap, my friend. >> the one we saw screaming at the professor at yale. it's on a journey. it's not like they're on the opposite side. they're like a 6, that guy was an 11. >> i would be -- i wouldn't compare it to people -- to terrorists. i would say that grievance -- the grievance mentality helps no one, correct? helps no one? >> you know what i would compare it to? i would compare it to violent protesters. because there are people who argue that that's a form of terrorism. but it's the same with this guy and other people like him. they claim to have a list of insults and grievances, however, there's never a solution to it. you're never going to get anywhere. there's never going to be -- like, colin kaepernick, and i'm not saying colin kaepernick is a terrorist, he's just very annoying. but he's got so many things he's upset about. and will there ever be a daily where colin kaepernick says, you know, this is exactly what i wanted. the same thing with people who flow bricks at cops.

back then i was looking in an undergraduate apartment. it brings me back on a slightly different scale. when i see her 2008 what i was doing instead in vietnamese because i was working on these projects about vietnam. i was traveling to vietnam and doing fieldwork and i was writing short stories but i not yesterday writing the sympathizer so i thought i would start up reading one of the first paragraphs and "nothing ever dies" and it will give me a sense of who i am a what i'm doing. >> i was born in vietnam, but made in america. i, i, myself among those vietnamese made by these deeds attempt to buy these words. i, cells among those americans who often do not know what to make of vietnam and want to know what to make of it. americans as well as many people the world older mistake the world with honor dishonored the case may be. this confusion no doubt lead to some of my own uncertainty about what it means to be a man with two countries, as well as the inheritor of two revolutions. today, the vietnamese of american revolutions and effexor

the entire summer actually studying for the university, studying vietnam's and i was living in undergraduate apartment. it brings me back actually on a slightly different scale. what i was doing -- the reason i was studying vietnamese is because i was working on the projects about vietnam. i was traveling to vietnam, i was doing field work there and, of course, i was writing short stories but not yet writing the sympathizer.r. i thought i would start byri reading the first paragraph or one of the first paragraphs, nothing ever dies and the memory of war. it'll give you a sense of who i am. i was born in vietnam but made in america. i count myself on one of those vietnam's, i also count myself on those americans often did not know what to make of vietnam and what to know what to make of it. americans as well as as many people of the world over tend to mistake vietnam honor for dishonor as the word may be. this confusion led to some of my own uncertainty of what it means to be a man of who countries as well as inheritor of two revolutions. today revolutions manufacture memories only to upset t

as we invest resources in programs to educate engineering undergraduates for innovation and what we call the mindset of entrepreneur, what are the two or three things that you believe are the most important things in knowledge and skills that we should be focusing on? thank you. >> who wants to take that? doctor. >> we are probably all working on that same thing. i think it is these skills of learning when you've hit a wall how do you turn and develop the synthesis for other skills but i think she wants to hear what you in the business world would tell all of us at universities. >> well, i will try. so what i would say university would be i think you use the term the inquisitive mind. what we are looking for now out of students is even if you come to a firm like ours and think you know what you want to do, have the ability to say in two years i may use that skill but do something different. i mean, the difference is coming in, you know, when i joined a firm you kind of had a career path of ten years, you knew what you wanted to do in ten years. now we want the students to almost make two

it's not just something that you picked up in your undergraduate courses. maybe allows you to throw around an anecdote once in a while. with that in mind, the other nice piece is actually history does change or how we interpret history and what happened in the past. i think president carter is a great example of that. when i was considering which president to approach here, there were a couple that mark and i discussed. i through out jimmy carter. i thought, you know, kind of saw mark's reaction to this. i said, hold on a second here. carter's actually one of our least studied presidents. i hope when you listen to this, you will understand why. i think -- i will tell you a story. most presidential libraries have very generous or for graduate students and academics, generous travel fees. to go do research and take a look around the library and do research and things. the carter library has none of that. donors over the years who supported this establishment of carter's library don't support it anymore. he never -- even though he is seen as our best ex-presid
