Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow: 1. How often do we exclaim: "That was a mistake!" That bewildered expression of regret and panic gets replayed through life. Some mistakes we forget, others we don't. The mistakes can be as mundane as forgetting to turn the geyser off or to pick up your passport from the airport counter. 2. Absent mindedness, preoccupation, distraction, carelessness, nervousness ...... there are umpteen excuses to justify mistakes. However major decisions like relocations of home or an unwarranted resignation letter can cause much trouble and upheaval and lead to regrets that leave you sad and depressed. Some mistakes are irreversible - then, is there room for hope? 3. In fact, there are no mistakes, only experiences. There are no problems only challenges. Every experience teaches us something in life. Every mistake inspires retrospection and introspection. The experience is humbling and it makes us wiser (i.e.), if every mistake is regarded as an experience and not as a source of self-pity or self￾condemnation. Many times people are unable to reconcile with change grooved in the blame culture and rooted in the past, they fail to realise the lifetime benefits they receive from changes. 4. Nature abounds in examples of flexibility and relocation in case of birds and beasts. Scientific research in the behaviour of birds has confirmed this. Birds, animals and even nomads, travel miles and miles in search of better food, congenial climate and safety. These relocations may cause some amount of stress, no doubt, but they are the sources of survival: helping to group bonding and cooperation, and to explore the beauty of new space and better environment. 5. "To the weak, problems are stumbling blocks, To the brave, they are stepping stones." An untimely resignation and or termination letter is certainly traumatic and disturbing. But think of possibilities it can throw open for you. A young man felt disappointed when he failed in an interview for a corporate job. At that point of time he felt dejected. Today, looking back he says, "It was a blessing in disguise. I would have never reached this far". Some mistakes bring in a very important message. Believe and achieve ! And in order to do so, faith is essential. It is the triple faith that men need today￾faith in oneself, faith in the world around us, and above all faith in God !". a. On the basis of your reading of the passage make notes on it, using headings and sub headings. Use recognizable abbreviations (wherever necessary-minimum 4) and a format you consider suitable. Also supply an appropriate title to it. 5 marks b. Write a summary of the above passage in about 50 words.
