SECTION-A : (READING) (4 Marks)
1. A Read the following passage carefully :
SEVEN STEPS TO MAKE WORK FUN
1. Success is never constant. We believe that success once earned should be permanent but success should be constantly reviewed. Experts say there are seven ways to make hard work enjoyable.
2. Firstly, one should think of work as a challenge and not a burden. W. Gardner states— doing something really well, however humble the task, is of greater value than undertaking a grandiose project and doing a mediocre job of it.
3. The second trait required to make work enjoyable is to approach whatever one is doing as if he is tackling it for the first time.
4. Thirdly, one should follow the ‘as if’ principle. If work is converted into a game, it becomes enjoyable. Fourthly, one should keep track of progress towards present goals and take pride in accomplishments. To succeed in the long run, you need to give yourself a regular feed back and positive reinforcement.
5. Fifthly, it is necessary to keep the end result in sight. During World War II, parachutes were being produced on a mass scale by women tailors who were spending hours over sewing machines doing the same dull, boring and tiring work. Every day the chief incharge used to say, “Remember that your parachutes may be used by your husband, brother or son. Every stitch is a life saving operation.” The tailors understood and did their best.
6. Sixthly, one should have a dynamic, daily routine and try to order and organise the day. Order means setting up of an effective agenda.
7. Seventhly, one should keep time for relaxation and exercise. The secret of success is to remember the victories and to forget the defeats. Remember a unique achievement of the past rather than a whole panorama of failures.

(i) To consider work as a challenge, we must
