"Often life throws challenges at us. Challenges expose our weaknesses and strengths. The true strength of character is shown by those who turn challenges into opportunities." Discuss in the context of the lesson ‘Patol Babu, Filmstar’.
Answers
Life is full of challenges; by being weak and turning our back on these challenges, we can’t achieve anything great in life. Success can only be had by facing challenges and overcoming them. Patol Babu had the ability to face the challenges.
The minor role he was offered in film, he made the best out of it. In spite of getting such an insignificant role, Patol Babu decided to do the role. He practiced very hard on his one-word dialogue. He went to a secluded corner and started enunciating the syllable in various ways. Along with that he worked out how he would react physically when the collision took place--how his features would be twisted in pain, how he would fling out his arms, how his body would crouch to express pain and surprise--all these he performed in various ways in front of a large glass window. And when the scene was shot, he gave a flawless performance. All the crew praised him. He himself felt pure satisfaction. This was an invaluable reward for him.
This mental satisfaction and confidence are the foundations of true success in life.
