Q.1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below:
1. He continued, "SLV-3 is a genuine Indian design and you may be having your own
troubles. But you should always remember that one doesn't just build on successes,
but also on failures. Mere hard work cannot fetch you honour. Building a rock wall is
backbreaking work. There are some people who build rock walls all their lives. And
when they die, they leave behind miles of walls, mute testimony to how hard they had
worked.
2. "But there are others who, while placing one rock on top of another, have a vision. It may
be to create a terrace with roses climbing over the rock walls and chairs set out for lazy
summer days. Or the rock wall may enclose an apple orchard or mark a boundary. What
matters is that when they finish, they have more than a wall. It is this goal that makes the
difference.
"Do not make rocketry your profession or your livelihood - make it your religion, your
mission."
Did I see something of Prof. Vikram Sarabhai in Wernher von Braun ? It made me happy
to think so.
With three deaths in the family in as many years, I needed total commitment to my work
in order to keep performing. I wanted to throw all my being into creating the SLV. During
this period, it was as though I had pushed a 'hold' button on my life — no badminton in
the evenings, no more weekends or holidays, no family, no relations, not even any friends
outside the SLV circle.
To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goal.
Individuals like my self are often called 'workaholics'. I question this term because that
implies an illness. If I work towards that which I desire more than anything else in the
world, and which also makes me happy, how can it be considered an aberration ?
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 paid for. I
have also known others who worked 60, 80 and even 100 hours a week because they found
their work exciting and rewarding. Total commitment is the common denominator among all successful men and women. Ques - 1what advise did wernher Von Braun give to the author?
