2. Absent mindedness, preoccupation, distraction carelessness, nervousness there are umpteen excuses to justify mistakes? However major decisions like relocations of home of 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. That is, if every mistake is regarded as an experience and not as a source of self condemnation. Many times people are unable to reconcile with the change grooved in the blame culture and rooted in the past, they had to realize the life time benefits they receive from changes.

4. Nature abounds in examples of flexibility and relocation in case of birds and beasts. Scientific research in the behavior of birds has confirmed these 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 source of survival: helping to group bonding and cooperation; and to explore the beauty of new space and better environment.

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!"

Q2. Read the poem given below and answer the question that follow :- 

GOING DOWNHILL ON A BICYCLE
 
With lifted feet, hands still,
I am poised, and down the hill
Dart, with heedful mind;
The air goes by in a wind.
Swifter and yet more swift
Till the heart with a mighty lift
Makes the lungs laugh, the throat, cry:-
“O bird, see; see, bird, I fly.
‘Is this, is this your joy?
O bird, then, I, thought a boy,
For a golden moment share
Your feathery life in air!’
Say, heart, is there aught like this
In a world that is full of bliss?
‘Tis more than skating, bound
Steel-shod to the level ground.
Speed slackens now, I float
A while in my airy boat;
Till, when the wheels scarce crawl,
My feet to the treadles fall.
Alas, that the longest hill
Must end in a vale; but still,
Who climbs with toil, wheresoever’s,
Shall find wings waiting there.
                                             -Henry Charles Beeching
