Features: This is a world filled with "magic." The creation of this world was made by a man named Ralph Parrett (1870-1930), an American minister and orator. In early 20th-century America, over one million listeners heard his series of speeches known as "University of Frustration." His lectures were held more than 2,500 times in different places across the United States, and his footsteps spanned various venues—auditoriums, churches, summer camps, and clubs. His audiences were diverse, ranging from 80-year-old men to toothless children. He was able to tirelessly repeat this year after year because his speeches focused on the shared experiences of all humanity; the only shortcut to success is through frustration.
