Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Voice of Love
1.I was a below average student. Both in schools and colleges, rarely my
teachers knew me by name. I don’t think I was a dunce; just that I didn’t have
an academic bent of mind. Since failures were more a habit than an
exception, a below par performance never disturbed me. Neither were my
teachers proud of me nor did I make my parents feel proud of me.
2.Of course, my parents being noble-hearted, never gave up on me. They
never put me down in the presence of others. In fact, to shield me, they always
projected a positive image of me to the world.
3.In 1984, while pursuing my graduation in Mathematics, I had failed in one
of the subjects in my fourth semester. I already had three arrears. For the
first time, hearing about my failure, I saw tears in my father’s eyes. This was
my first experience of seeing my father cry. I couldn’t handle his crying. To
withdraw myself I escaped to the terrace of my apartment. I suffered a fear
like I have never known before. I was trembling. I never wanted my parents
to ever cry again because of my failures. But, I was scared.”Was it too late to begin in life,” I doubted. I was already over 18, just about
50% marks in my four semesters, 4 arrears to clear and 3 regular papers to
face in my fifth semester, no talent, no special abilities, never won a prize in
my life, not a single certificate. I truly wanted to make it very big in life, if not
for my sake, just to make up for all that I had put my parents through. My
thoughts were haunting me, “Rajan, you don’t have any taste of success. You
just don’t know what it is to succeed.” With tears flooding, I cried, “Can I still
make it big in life or have I missed the bus?”
4. My neighbour, Vijayaraghavan, who learnt about the sobbing of my soul,
casually said, “Rajan, the harder you press the spring the faster it will
bounce back. So what if your life has been pressed by failures for 18 years.
Decide to bounce back and bounce back big in life. Even God will not stop
you.” Bounce back I did! I bounced back big to clear all the 7 papers in first
class and ever since I smile at my failures.
5.After all what is resilience: To get up one more time when you have fallen?
I do not remember the times when life has pushed me down, but every time I
have bounced back big, for, I can hear the message lingering from within me
even louder, “The harder you press the spring, the faster it will bounce back.
Bounce back and bounce back big.” 6. Ever since, I have given enough
opportunities for my parents to cry; cry they do, glad they have a son like me.
