Q.2 (B) Read the following passage and do the activities : (10 marks)
B1. Match the following : (2) [Match the columns — Column ‘A’: (i) success (ii) life (iii) plan to execute (iv) visions, wishes, intentions and dreams spark off; Column ‘B’: (a) trumpet (b) imagination (c) walk in the dark (d) our strategies.]
Visions, wishes, intentions and dreams are all valuable. They spark off imagination and encourage us to define where we want to reach. In order to get there, however, we need to bring life images, down to earth and plan to execute our strategies. The quality and quantity of energy we put forth, directly impact the results. Life is something like a trumpet. If we don’t put anything in, we can’t get anything out.
Success is a walk in the dark. Finding the right footing, precisely mastering the skills and getting to the next place, all depend on how we approach and tackle the problem. The best way to get from where we are, to where we want to be is to find the footing of our next step. When we take the next step, it should support and hold us without a crack.
