1. Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions:

The desire to change the personality of others to suit us is just as futile as trying to change a mogra into a rose. Every individual possesses a particular set of thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes. It is not just difficult but virtually impossible to change others. Studies have shown that if we change our own behaviour towards others, 80 percent of the problems we face in life, would not be there.

Our ability to accept another’s personality and value system reflects our attitudes towards life. The story of the two friends-THE MOGRA and THE ROSE-sets an example. The mogra was taken by surprise when the gardener grew a rosebush next to it. It could not help admiring the beauty of the red rose. Soon they become friends despite the thorns on the stalk on which the rose grew. If the mogra were to look down upon the rose for its thorns, they would never have become friends. The rose too could have objection to many things about the mogra. The mogra was weak. It could hardly stand against the wind and harsh weather. The rose, like a true friend, would protect the mogra by sheltering it with its sturdy branches and tough leaves. Its also took care that its own thorns did not prick the delicate body of the mogra. In short, the two friends underplayed the shortcomings of each other and lived happily ever after.
