Question

Read the passage give below and answer the questions that follow: Kalam’s Concept of Total Commitment “Total commitment is not just hard work, it is total involvement. Building a rock wall is back breaking work. There are some people who build rock walls all their lives and when they die, they are miles of walls, mute testimonials to how hard those people had worked”. He continued, “But there are other men who, while placing one rock on top of another, have a vision in their mind, a goal. It may be a terrace with roses climbing over the rock wall and chairs set out on lazy summer days, or the rock wall may enclose an apple orchard or mark a boundary. When they finish, they have more than a wall. It is the goal that makes the difference. Do not make rocketry your profession, your livelihood make it your religion, your mission. “To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goal. Individuals like myself are often called ‘workaholics’. I question this term because that implies a pathological condition or illness. If I do that which I desire more than anything else in the world and which makes me happy, such work can never be an aberration. Words from twenty sixth psalm come to my mind while I work: “Examine me, O lord and prove me”. “Total commitment is a crucial quality for those who want to reach the very top of their profession. The desire to work at optimum capacity leaves hardly any room for anything else. I have had people with me who would scoff at the 40 hours a week job they were being paid for. I have known others who used to work 60, 80. And even 100 hours a week. They found their work exciting and rewarding. Total commitment is the common denominator among all successful men and women. Are you able to manage the stress you encounter in your life? The difference between an energetic and a confused person is the difference in the way their mind handle their experiences. Man needs his difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy success. All of us carry some sort of super intelligence within us. Let it be stimulated to enable us examine our deepest thoughts, desires and beliefs. “Once you have done this charge yourself, as it were, with your commitment to your work. You also need good health and boundless energy. Climbing to the top demands strength, whether it is to the top of Mount Everest or to the top of your career. People are born with different energy reserves and the one who tries first and burns out easily will do well to reorganize his or her life at the earliest.” Questions: 1.
