2.Read the passage carefully and answer the question that follow:
The Road to Success
1. The Road to success is not straight; there is a curve called failure, a loop called confusion, speed
bumps called friends, caution lights called family, and you will have flats called jobs. But, if you have a
spare called determination, an engine called perseverance, insurance called faith, and a driver called
God, you will make it to a place called success!
2. In spite of all our planning and preparation, unexpected challenges are certain to arise. The bumps in
the road are unavoidable, but you’ll never get to your destination if you aren’t willing to drive over
them. The difference between a disaster and triumph lies in whether or not you’re prepared and willing
to weather the storm. If you’re ready, those bumps will become stepping-stones.
3. The key thing to realize is that working harder is same as working smarter. How do you work smarter?
You just need to have the right skills. People want improved circumstances and better life without an
improved self. They want victory without paying the price or making efforts. It really cannot happen
without the other. Any improvements that have not been generated by improving yourself are
superficial and short-lived. If you want to have a better future, you have to change yourself. Stop
worrying about the various challenges that will come your way. Just believe in yourself and use them as
stepping-stones.
4. “Success” is getting whatever you want out of life without violating the rights of others.” It is not an
accident. Success is the result of our attitude and our attitude is a choice. Hence success is a matter of
choice and not chance.
5. Today success represents a holistic and positive attitude to life. Attitude is everything. Success is not
restricted within some kind of brick and mortar premises. It assumes the individuality of a complete act
executed with perfection; material achievements do not define life. We don’t remember sports stars for
the products they endorse but the spirit of achievement they represent. In the abundance of positive
attitude underline the grandeur of a truly rewarding rich life.
6. Success can be measured from two standpoints—the external and the internal. Externally it is the
measure of a job well done and recognition. Internally it the feeling of achievement and wholeness
derived from the completion of a task or fulfillment of desire.
