Personal development is the pursuit of developing, honing and mastering the

skills that help us become the best that we can, with all that we have. It is the
reaching for, and the realizing of, our full potential as human beings. We all want
to live full, productive lives but, sometimes we just don’t know where to begin.
There is so much information ‘out there’ that it can be overwhelming and hard to
sort. Depending on the problem, what seems to work for one person, may not
necessarily work for everyone. There are so many different programs, strategies
and techniques that it is hard to choose the right one.
One thing, however, is certain. If we want to accomplish anything in life and realize our full
potential, we must have some skills – in this case, life skills. You begin by establishing a firm
foundation. That foundation is “you”. You must know who you are, what you want, and what
you are capable of. You must then determine which values, goals and principles you will set up
to guide your actions.
Often, the hardest part in any endeavor is getting started, however once you do, there is a
surprising snowball effect. You will begin to feel good about what you’re doing and you’ll want
to continue. You will want to keep improving yourself and you’ll want to become the best that
you can be. As you continue on the journey of personal development you will become aware that
there is so much knowledge and information to be discovered and uncovered than you ever
thought possible; knowledge about yourself, knowledge about others, knowledge about life and
the world around you.
The good news is that acquiring Essential Life Skills will not only contribute to your personal
growth and development, it will make you a more interesting and dynamic individual. What
good is all the financial success in the world if you don’t have self-confidence or high self-
esteem, know who you really are, what you want, or what you’re doing here? We’ve all
witnessed many outwardly successful and famous people who have not been able to find
personal happiness. No amount of fame or fortune could fill the void they felt inside.
1) Why are life skills essential for personal growth?

a) It is important to acquire skills that help one fit into the society
b) Growth of an individual is incomplete without proper skills and manners
c) One can be happy by acquiring life skills, not by measuring success
d) These skills highlight the negative aspects of our personality
2) What can you infer from the term ‘snowball effect’?

a) Downward trends such as feeling low about oneself are observed in people
b) to pursue knowledge, and improve oneself
c) Excess of knowledge can confuse a person
d) Improving life skills requires tremendous effort and determination
3) Which of the following best describes the ‘foundation’?

a) Be clear about life and occurrence of circumstances
b) Be free and explore unseen dimensions of living life
c) Discover yourself and your qualities
d) Master the skills that will help you achieve your goals
4) What problems can we face in the beginning of personality development?

a) Abundance of problems makes it difficult to deal with them
b) Personality has various sides which are difficult to comprehend
c) There is no proper channel through which one can learn about personality
d) Different methods available to help us may not work effectively for all
The Kingdom of Spain was created in 1492 with the unification of the Kingdom of
Castile and the Kingdom of Aragon. For the next three centuries Spain was the
most important colonial power in the world. It was the most powerful state in
Europe and the foremost global power during the 16th century and the greater
part of the 17th century. Spain established a vast empire in the Americas,
stretching from California to Patagonia, and colonies in the western Pacific.
Spain’s European wars, however, led to economic damage, and the latter part of the 17th century
saw a gradual decline of power under an increasingly neglectful and inept Habsburg regime. The
decline culminated in the War of the Spanish Succession, where Spain’s decline from the
position of a leading Western power, to that of a secondary one, was confirmed, although it
remained the leading colonial power.
The eighteenth century saw a new dynasty, the Bourbons, which directed considerable effort
towards the institutional renewal of the state, with some success, peaking in a successful
involvement in the American War of Independence.
The end of the eighteenth and the start of the nineteenth centuries saw turmoil unleashed
throughout Europe by the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, which finally led to a
French occupation of much of the continent, including Spain. This triggered a successful but
devastating war of independence that shattered the country and created an opening for what
would ultimately be the successful independence of Spain’s mainland American colonies.
Following a period of growing political instability in the early twentieth century, in 1936 Spain
was plunged into a bloody civil war. The war ended in a nationalist dictatorship, led by Francisco
Franco which controlled the Spanish government until 1975.
1) What was the result of Napoleanic wars?

a) A small part of the continent was occupied by French people
b) Spain was occupied by the French
c) War of independence was unable to yield any positive result
d) American colonies were destroyed after the war
2) What is the meaning of the term ‘culminated’?

a) Follow a particular path
b) Guide or transform
c) Reach the highest point
d) Introduce on a grand scale
3) What is the summary of the passage?

a) The rise and fall of a national empire
b) The downfall of successive regimes in Spain
c) The history of Spain
d) Spain in eighteenth century
4) What occurred in the latter part of 17th century?

a) War of succession confirmed the leading position of Spain
b) Spain was no longer regarded as the ruling colonial power
c) A vast empire was established in Europe
d) Power steadily declined under Habsburg regime
