Read the passage given below and answer the questions that
follow:
1. Have you ever failed at something so miserably that the
thought of attempting to do it againwas the last thing you wanted
to do?
2. If your answer is yes, then you are ‘’ not a robot”. Unlike
robots, we human beings have feelings,emotions and dreams. We are
all meant to grow and stretch despite our circumstances and
ourlimitations. Flourishing and trying to make our dreams come true
is great when life is going ourway. But what happens when its’s
not? What happens when you fail despite all of your hardwork? Do
you stay down and accept the defeat or do you get up again again
until you are
-

satisfied? If you have a tendency to preserve and keep going
then you have what experts call, grit.
3. Falling down or failing is one of the most agonizing,
embarrassing and scariest human experiences. But it is also one of
the most educational, empowering and essential parts of living a
successful and fulfilling life. Did you know that perseverance
(grit) is one of the seven qualities that have been described as
the keys to personal success and betterment in society? The other
six are: curiosity, gratitude, optimism, self-control, social
intelligence and zest. Thomas Edison is a model for grit for trying
1,000 plus times to invent the light bulb. If you are reading this
with the lights on in your room, you know well how he succeeded.
When asked why he kept going despite his hundreds of failure, he
merely stated that what he had been not failures. They were
hundreds of ways not to create a light bulb. This statement not
only revealed his grit but also his optimism for looking at the
bright side.
4. Grit can be learned to help you become more successful. One
of the techniques that helps is mindfulness. Mindfulness is a
practice that helps the individual stay in the moment by bringing
awareness of his or her experience without judgement. This practice
has been used to quiet the noise of their fears and doubts. Through
this simple practice of mindfulness, individuals have the ability
to stop the self- sabotaging downward spiral of hopelessness,
despair and frustration.
5. What did you do to overcome the negative and self- sabotaging
feelings of failure? Reflect on what you did and try to use those
same powerful resources to help you today.

Read the following passage carefully.
1. Snow- clad mountains, opal- blue lakes and shimmering peaks,
all these make the Himalayas look like the most romantic place on
earth. The death of Lance Naik Hanumanthappa has, however, brought
into sharp focus the difficult conditions under which our soldiers
function to protect our borders.
2. The life of soldiers stationed at Siachen is extremely tough.
For drinking water, they have to break ice from the glacier; boil
it and drink it. There is one person assigned to keep the water
warm at every moment of the day. The main task of the infantry
stationed in the Siachen area is to hold the ground and man the
post. To show their physical presence is important to keep the
enemy at bay.
3. In the icy mountains it is constant battle with the climate.
Keeping themselves healthy is another important aspect of their
daily living. Picking up supplies that are air dropped to them and
shoveling ice off their tents is a crucial part of their survival
routine.
4. That is perhaps why Rashtriya Military School the nurturing
grounds of future soldiers, send students on an expedition to the
Siachen Glacier every academic year. These young cadets get to make
the long arduous task up the snow- clad battle ground under the
guidance of experienced army personnel, to truly understand what it
means to be on the icy borders between India and Pakistan.
5. This gives a rare opportunity to students because the Siachen
remains out of bounds for most armed personnel. It takes a lot of
courage to face the situation there. Oxygen levels are low, there
are steep ice walls to climb in sub- zero conditions and the high
wind make it nearly impossible to walk. O ne has to be mentally
strong to cope up with these extreme and hostile conditions.
6. There are many factors in the selection of candidates:
physical endurance and leadership skills. Also, he must have a
cheerful disposition as team work is important. They must also be
able to speak with clarity.
7. This experience is an on- job training ground for students as
they get an insight into the situation there. First hand experience
of life in Siachen and survival skills in tough conditions prepare
them for their future roles. They interact with officers and get a
feel of life in the armed forces. Patriotic fervor, service to the
nation- these attributes become part of their mindset. When they
come back from the trek, a marked difference in their personalities
can be seen. It is a great learning experience in many ways. It
motivates future leaders to join the Army.

passage carefully.
1. All of us do some kind of work toward off starvation or to
gain sufficient material wealth with a view to maintain the
standard of living which our physical and intellectual power have
helped us to reach. But there is another kind of work which is
completely divorced from the burdensome process of our livelihood
and which is undertaken for the sake of amusement or interest or
the direction of our surplus stores of energy in some new and
useful channels of refined tastes. This delightful occupation
combining work with pleasure or hobby, as it is properly termed,
calls for the application of our highest faculties and gives proper
form to our healthy instincts, purposeful habits and disciplined
behavior. In our carefree and vacant hours, it allows these
faculties to perform their natural functions and to display their
instinctive greatness. We devote
-
7
our leisure to the pursuit of this pleasant task and derive
advantages which compares favourably with those we obtain from the
bread- earning routine of our daily life. Hobbies widen the sphere
of our cultural activities, give refinement to our tastes and show
us the path that leads to our systematic mental and moral
development. Our tendencies and inclinations also find in them an
outlet for a healthy and progressive expression.
2. A hobby is a favourite subject or occupation that is not
one’s main business. In this age of machinery which has taken upon
itself most of the laborious duties of physical exertion formally
performed by man, than creating for him pleasant intervals of rest
and leisure, it should not be difficult for him to devote some time
to the pursuit of a new interest that can add some charm, colour or
zest to his life. The spare time must not be fritted away in
idleness or spent on such work as overtaxes one’s mind and body
after one has performed one’s normal functions for the day. The
occupation, banishes the drabness of routine work and produces a
feeling that life is both charming and meaningful.
3. The choice of hobbies, like the choice of books, purposes of
reading, is not an easy task. Some hobbies demand a little guidance
from experienced persons. Our sudden attachment to them without the
backing of this preliminary knowledge may result in wasting of our
resources of time and money, and in the end compel us to abandon
them. Some hobbies are rather expensive, and therefore beyond the
means of ordinary people who can ill- afford to spend large sum of
money on them. Also a few are incompatible with our temperament and
taste. We must not, therefore, allow the glamour of certain hobbies
to binds to their reality, however tempting they may appear to us,
nor should we begin to cherish them thoughtlessly because we find
other people so devotedly attached to them. In the first flush of
enthusiasm many have rushed into unsuitable hobbies only to find
themselves turning away from them in a state of great
disillusionment. In a few rare and exceptional cases a sudden
instinctive choice of some hobbies sometimes prove to be the right
one. We must not, however, forget that tinkering with a hobby is a
joyless and wasteful process, unattended by any appreciable gains.
Scattered interest in half a dozen or more odd hobbies is also not
a desirable end.

(i) What is a hobby?

Read the following passage carefully.
1. Do you remember the last time you laughed out loud? For most
of us laughing out loud is an uphill task. More often than not
people think that they have no time to laugh. There are more
important things to do. But if you ask Jean Legget, the Canadian
founder of Bootcamp she’ll say you do not have anything more
important to do than just laugh. Says Sudha Chandra, who attended a
Bootcamp: ‘My life was joyless. Hiring a laughter coach changed my
perspective towards life. I learnt to record my emotions and
ensured that the four elements of joy- dancing, laughing, singing
and playing – helped to build an emotional reserve.’
2. The cynic in us may still think it is an exaggeration, but
the fact is that we can be taught to laugh more. Neuroscientist
Jodi Deluca says it doesn’t matter why you laugh. Even in small
doses, laughter improves the quality of life. You can condition
people to feel more positive as laughter opens up the mind and
frees the creative juices. It makes us more receptive to new ideas.
The New York- based laughter coach Beth Bongar says that since our
everyday lives are full of stresses, in her classes on laughter she
uses the ‘gibberish’ technique where everyone laughs by using
gibberish sounds. Such playful exercises help to reduce inhibitions
and shyness and convert simulated laughter into unconditional
laughter.
3. According to the greatest laughter therapists laughter is a
cathartic process which helps rebalance the chemistry of emotions
which can be a keynote for healing. Several researchers on the
benefits of laughter in Japan have shown that laughter therapy is
an efficient, low- cost, medical treatment that cuts health costs.
According to their findings laughter is a stimulant that triggers
energy inside a person’s DNA, potentially helping to cure disease.
When we are laughing with other people, we share a sense of
connectedness which in turn reduces loneliness. Says comedian Vir
Das: ‘When 3000 people laugh at me during my performance, even if
I’ve had a bad day, I feel joyful. Not everyone can be a comedian,
but we can all learn to be more joyful.’

Read the following passage carefully
Everybody wants to succeed in life. For some success means
achieving whatever they desire or dream. For many it is the name,
fame and social position. Whatever be the meaning of success, it is
success which makes a man popular.
All great men have been successful. They are remembered for
their great achievements. But it is certain that success comes to
those who are sincere.
-

Success has been man’s greatest motivation. It is very important
for all. Success has a great effect on life. It brings pleasure and
pride. It gives a sense of fulfillment. It means all round
development. Everybody hopes to be successful in life. But success
smiles on those who have a proper approach, planning, vision and
stamina. A proper and timely application of these things is bound
to bear fruit. One cannot be successful without cultivating these
certain basic things in life. It is very difficult to set out on a
journey without knowing one’s goals and purposes. Clarity of the
objective is a must to succeed in life. A focused approach with
proper planning is certain to bring success. Indecision and
insincerity are big obstacles on the path of success.
One should have the capability, capacity and resources to turn
one’s dreams into reality. Mere desire cannot bring you success.
The desire should be weighed against factors like capability and
resources. This is the basic requirement of success. The next
important thing is the eagerness, seriousness and the urge to be
successful. It is the driving force which decides the success. It
is the first step on the ladder of success.
One needs to pursue one’s goals with all one’s sincerity and
passion. One should always be in high spirit. Lack of such spirit
leads to an inferiority complex which is a big obstruction on the
path to success. Time is also a deciding factor. Only the punctual
and committed have succeeded in life. Lives of great men are
examples of this. They had all these qualities in plenty which
helped them rise to the peak of success.
Hard labour is one of the basic requirements of success. There
is no substitute for hard labour. It alone can take one to the peak
of success. Every success has a ratio of five percent inspiration
and ninety- five percent perspiration. It is the patience,
persistence and perseverance which play a decisive role in
achieving success. Failures are the pillars of success as they are
our stepping- stones and we must get up and start again and be
motivated.
2.1. On the basis of your reading of the passage, answer any
four of the following questions in 30-40 words : (a) To whom does
