Comprehension

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, hardworking,
loyal and committed to their
goals. 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 fulfilment. It means all-
around 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 all
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 to
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.

On the basis of your reading of


the passage, answer the
following questions:
Qno1. To whom does success
come certainly?
Qno2. What are the basic things
in life we need to achieve
success ?
Qno3. What did great men have
in plenty to rise to the peak of
success ? Give any two
examples.
Qno4.What is the one basic
requirement of success ?
Qno. 5.Explain : “Failures are
pillars of success.”
