Question

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow :-

"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, there 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 minds, a

goal. It may be a terrace with roses climbing over the rock wall and chairs set out for lazy summer days. Or the rock wall

may enclose and 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 an illness. If I do not that which I

desire more than anything else in the world and which makes me happy, such work can never be an aberration.

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 a the 40-hours-

a-week job they were being paid for. I have know others who used to work 60, 80 and even 100 hours a week because

they found their work exciting and rewarding. Total commitment is the common you encounter in your life ? The

difference between an energetic and a confused person is the difference in the way their minds handle theirexperiences. 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 enable us to examine ur deepest thoughts, desires and beliefs.

Once you have done this, you also need good health and boundless energy. Climbing to the top demands strength,

whether to the top of Mount Everest or the top of your carrer. People are born with different energy reserves and the

one who tires first and burns out easily will do well to reorganize his or her life at the earliest.
