You will not understand what is required by the end of today.
You will not understand what is required by the end next week.
You will not understand what is required by in a months time.
Some of you will never understand what is required.
Most of you will understand what is required.
All of you will learn something.

This is not about us. It is not about the course.
It is about you.
It is your project, it is your research. The two work together either one may be the
primary motivating factor at a particular time.

Both will shape the other, without the other they will not function.
Your ideas will always be too grand. Get over it and move on.
You will want to produce something truly new. Get over it and move on.

Slow methodical steps, shifts, disruptions outweigh the big gestures.
The rewards are determined by you not us.
