22. Year 2014 (Group II)

Read the following passage and answer the questions given at the
end. Your own constructed answers will fetch you better marks.
The man who is perpetually hesitating which of the two things he will do
first, will do neither. The man who resolves but suffers his resolution to be
changed by the first counter suggestion of a friend who fluctuates from
opinion to opinion, from plan, and veers like a weather-cook to every point of
the compass, with every breath of caprice that blows-can never accomplish
anything great or useful instead of being progressive to any thing, he will be
at best stationary, and more probably retrograde in all. It is only the man
who first consults wisely, then resolves firmly and then executes his purpose
with inflexible perseverance undismayed by those difficulties which daunt a
weaker spirit that can advance to eminence in any time. Take your course
wisely, but firmly, and haven taken it, hold upon it with heroic resolution and
the Alps and Pyrenees will sink before you. Wavering and fickleness of the
mind are not only signs of a weak personality but also symptoms of
inferiority complex. Taking a decision promptly and then sticking to it firmly
may be the quality found rarely in the selected few but average human
beings are quite capable of developing the habit of thinking deeply and
wisely and then executing the plans efficiently. It can be achieved through
guidance, will power and psychological treatment.
Questions:
(i) What is the result of indecisiveness?
(ii) Why should a man refrain from changing his plans after taking a firm
decision?
(iii) What are the conditions of successful accomplishment of a task?
(iv) What do repeated change in plans show about a man's personality?
(v) Suggest a suitable title for the passage.
(vi) Make a precis of the above passage.
