Passage 12 "At the beginning of a new year the thoughts of most of us turn to a mental stock-taking, a weighing up of our aims, achievements and personalities. And if we are honest, we are forced back upon the realization that it is the best of these our personalities the people we are that is the greatest factor in deciding whether the first two will be realized, whether our aims will in fact become achievements. "Character is destiny". This truth is known to all creative writers, to all great administrators (Napoleon s contempt for unlucky' generals, stemmed from his knowledge that luck is almost always a reflection of a man's own approach to life) it is a truth known also to professional fortune-tellers, who so often arrive at surprisingly correct forecast of a person's future, largely on the basis of a quick and shrewd summing up of a person's character. For however much you may hanker for, say adventure, you will never achieve it, unless you are basically an adventurous person; yo u may long for friends, but they will not come near your way unless you are a friendly soul willing to give affection." (a) What most of us think at the beginning of a new year? (b) Explain the difference between aims and achievements? (c) What do you think is meant by "Character is destiny"? (d) How can we make friends? (e) Give a suitable title of the passage?
