Q. 2 Read the following passage and answer the questions carefully given below:
'Where there's a will there's a way' is an old saying. He who resolves upon dong a thing, by that
very resolution overcomes the obstacles to it. It is so in all the occupations of life-at-school, at
college or in the world. To determine to succeed is the surest way to success. Difficulties
disappear before an unswerving resolution. This was well exemplified in the life of Napoleon.
He threw his whole force of body and mind upon his work. He was told that the Alps stood in
the way of his armies. “There shall be no Alps", he said, and a road was made across them, over
heights previously considered inaccessible. "Impossible", said he, is a word only to be found in
the dictionary of fools . And so it is; a determination not to give it is the surest condition of
success in any undertaking. But the young student must carefully guard himself against the
errors of mistaking a mere undisciplined energy and self-will for the needful firmness and self-
command on which success depends.
