These goals are sabotaged by several factors, which include limited offerings, a myopic focus on "micro-events," and a general insistence on the part of the Core office to professors that they "dumb down" classes...
...game can be perilous for less well-prepared entrepreneurs and for the investors who snap up their shares.

You want to emphasize the opportunity inherent in every person, rather than their victimization, because victimization leads to passivity, to grievance and to helplessness...
