Q1. Read the following text critically and answer the questions given below. Most of us subscribe to the widely held belief that small is synonymous with inconsequential or insignificant or immaterial or trivial. We believe that our small actions have little bearing on the achievements in our lives. We believe that it is only the big things, the big actions and the big decisions that really matter in our lives. But the lives of all great people show that they had achieved outstanding success through small decisions, small choices and small actions that they performed every day. They transformed their lives by working on their day-to-day behaviors - deliberately, steadfastly and consistently. Their transformation did not occur in one giant leap or in one single spectacular action but by adoption of a step-by-step approach. They inculcated and nurtured their good habits and overcame their weaknesses, one step at a time. It was their everyday endeavors and actions that added up to make tremendous difference in the long run. Indeed, in matters of personal growth and character building, there is no such thing as an overnight turnaround or success. The founder of this country, Mohammad Ali Jinnah understood this and used it to his advantage. He grew up in many small ways in his day-to-day affairs. He did not wake up one day to find himself to be the Quaid-e-Azam. He consciously and consistently attempted to change and reform himself and grow in some way, every day. Day by day, he accepted risks, explored, experimented and learned from mistakes. In seemingly small and big situations alike, he accepted rather than shirked away from challenges. Mindful of the fact that a journey of thousand miles begins with the first step, he seized each day as a challenge and as an opportunity and made it count. He exhibited a level of self-mastery and discipline that was indeed extraordinary. It would, however, be wrong to assume that these things came easily to him. Many people saw him exhibit his self-mastery, but did not see the years of practice and disciplined training that went into the achievement of such great successes. Very few of his peer group were able to see from close his trials and tribulations, fears and anxieties and his inner efforts to overcome them. They saw the achievements and the final victory, but not the struggles. Commitment, perseverance and steadfastness are the hallmarks of the lives of all great people. By exercising their choices in small ways, they are able to influence and impact their circumstances and their environment. Each of their small seemingly insignificant decisions and actions accumulate to create profound impact in the long run. By understanding this principle, we can move forward and can achieve ultimate success. 1.
