Probably this topic will (or should be) closed soon. The link provided above is a CLEAR solution to the original question.

But I will offer a vignette: as a novice recruit to the Competition in January 1996, sitting in a large meeting room in the Center of New Hampshire, I heard Woodie Flowers say to the mentors: There are many ways to be a mentor and I won’t tell you what you must do. But there’s one thing you must NOT do, and that is let your students fail.
