8. she showed examples of people who have won the prize who hadn't achieved their goals yet.

bishop desmond tutu... jimmy carter.... many others who had worked towards peace but hadn't achieved it yet. she said that the nobel prize is often awarded for the effort more than for the achievement.

10. Thank you -- and Hissyspit explained it upthread, too -- I just can't convey

anything correctly or succinctly, so I don't even try. I just got caught up in the moment. Sorry! :(
