Read the following passages and answer the questions that follow:
|
Perseverance is about as important to achievement as gasoline is to driving a car. Sure, there will be times when you feel like you're spinning your wheels, but you'll always get out of the rut with genuine perseverance. Without it, you won't even be able to start your engine.
|
The opposite of perseverance is procrastination. Perseverance means you never quit. Procrastination usually means you never get started, although the inability to finish something is also a form of procrastination.
|
Ask people why they procrastinate and you'll often hear something like, "I'm a perfectionist. Everything has to be just right before I can get down to work. No distractions, not too much noise, no telephone calls interrupting me, and, of course, I have to be feeling well physically, too. I can't work when I have a headache."

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided since the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway, it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. So, the farmer invited all his neighbours to come over and help him. They all grabbed shovels, and began to shovel dirt into the well. All the other farm animals were very upset about this, because the donkey was their friend. But they discovered there was nothing they could do to help him. At first, when the donkey realised what was happening, he cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well, and was astonished at what he saw.
|
With every shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off, and take a step up on the dirt as it piled up. As the farmer's neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well, and trotted off!
|
Moral: Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. But each trouble can be a stepping stone. What happens to you isn't nearly as important as how you react to it. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not giving up!

One of the mysteries and beauties of Sikkim is the Tshangu lake, high above the ground. At approximately 12,000 feet, up in the mountains, is this clean and serene lake. Hundreds of colourful Maruti vans (these seem to be the favourite cars here) flit up and down the mountains carrying excited tourists. Tshangu lake is absolutely clean and fresh, no one is allowed to enter it, no boating, nor throwing anything. There is a small temple of Shiva (Shiva is known as Tshangu here, hence the name of the lake). The China border is just about thirty yards away but one is forbidden to take pictures of that side, nor is one allowed to go there. Army personnel man the border and they also keep track of the cars and the people who go up and down the mountains.
|
A thick mist suddenly flows at any time hence tourists are asked to go down to the plains before noon especially as winter sets in as it can be quite dangerous. The twists and turns on the mountain side are quite sharp.
|
The main animal here is the yak, a long haired placid animal, more a cousin of the horse and the donkey and yak rides are the favourite pastime for children.

question_answer16)
Etiquette is the unwritten code that governs social behaviour. Etiquette reflects formulas of conduct in which society or tradition have invested. Western etiquette tells people to greet friends and acquaintances with warmth and respect, refrain from insults and curiosity, offer hospitality equally to guests, wear clothing suited to the occasion, talk properly, eat neatly and quietly, avoid disturbing others, follow the rules of an organisation, arrive promptly when expected, comfort the bereaved, and respond to invitations promptly.
|
Violations of etiquette can cause public disgrace, and in private hurt individual feelings, create misunderstandings or real grief and pain.
|
Some people feel etiquette to be an unnecessary restriction of freedom of personal expression. However, wearing pajamas to a wedding in a cathedral may be an expression of the guest's freedom, but may also cause the bride and groom to suspect that the guest is expressing amusement or disparagement towards them and their wedding.
|
Etiquette is dependent on culture; what is excellent etiquette in one society may shock in another. Etiquette can vary widely between different cultures and nations. In China, a person who takes the last item of food from a common plate without offering it to others at the table is seen as a glutton whilst in most European cultures he is expected to eat all the food given to them, as a compliment to the cooking. In some societies it is considered disgusting to eat with the left hand, and left handed individuals are sometimes forced to use their right hand. Recently, internet has created Netiquette, which governs the drafting of e-mail, rules for participating in online forums, and so on.

That's What She Said (Or He)

I wish you. Friend,

The finest thing

That I can wish for you -

Not health, nor wealth,

Nor luck, but just

A spirit of bamboo.

Bend with the wind

And thus survive,

Though storms may flatten you.
|
Weep not at fate,

But spring erect

As bamboo thickets do.

Though knives of hate
|
May cut away
|
Your hopes of dreams come true,
|
From roots of faith
|
Put out your shoots
|
And grow your dreams anew.
|
Wealth may be lost,
|
And health may fade,
|
Yet you'll be wise and true
|
If you can bend
|
And you can grow
|
With spirit of bamboo!

That I can wish for you -
|
Not health, nor wealth,
|
Nor luck, but just
|
A spirit of bamboo.
|
Bend with the wind
|
And thus survive,
|
Though storms may flatten you.
|
Weep not at fate,
|
But spring erect
|
As bamboo thickets do.
|
Though knives of hate
|
May cut away
|
Your hopes of dreams come true,
|
From roots of faith
|
Put out your shoots
|
And grow your dreams anew.
|
Wealth may be lost,
|
And health may fade,
|
Yet you'll be wise and true
|
If you can bend
|
And you can grow
|
With spirit of bamboo!
|
- Helene Grouse

"Ring Out, Wild Bells"
|
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
|
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
|
The year is dying in the night;
|
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
|
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
|
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
|
The year is going, let him go;
|
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
|
Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
|
For those that here we see no more,
|
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
|
Ring in redress to all mankind.
|
Ring out a slowly dying cause,
|
And ancient forms of party strife;
|
Ring in the nobler modes of life,

With sweeter manners, purer laws.
