Write a paragraph on THE VALUE OF TRUTH |
| Answer» The power of truth can be known from the fact that nobody, not even the greatest liar in the world, has the courage to say that he is telling a lie or that\xa0truth\xa0is not good. A man who tells a lie is like a thief who has stolen something. And the thing which a liar steels is, above everything else, the truth.\xa0And when the truth is known, he is terribly upset and highly afraid. An ordinary thief may be afraid of fine, imprisonment or other punishment. But if the liar happens to be a well-known popular figure, he may be afraid of losing his popularity or reputation. In this respect, truth also becomes an acid test for our inner strength or bravery.Many men may not be afraid of losing their life with a bullet but there must be few who have the courage to face the bullet of truth. A truly brave person sticks to the truth in all the circumstances. But many succumb to pressure or fear of torture or death. Joan of Arc, a young girl of eighteen, refused to bow before the church and the government and embraced death by being burnt but she stuck to what she believed to be the truth.\xa0How many men and women like them are there in this world? The concept of truth sometimes becomes controversial in the whorl of philosophical quibbling. Admittedly, there is difference between truth and fact. Truth is often hidden behind the facts.The courts often punish a criminal on the basis of facts, without bothering to unearth the truth behind the facts, the truth of the circumstances and discriminatory social and economic order which compelled the person to commit a crime.But the courts have to administer the laws and the laws’ have loopholes and are sometimes biased. The result is that sometimes an innocent person is punished but a real culprit goes scot-free.\xa0We should resort to truthful speaking and truthful living in our lives, as Guru Nanak Dev had preached to mankind. | |

Write a charactersketch of Albert Einstein of about 50 to 100 words |
| Answer» Albert Einstein showed the sparks of genius even at a young age. His miserable years at school revealed how a talented creative mind feels trapped and cloistered in the rigid system of education. The classroom had no place for individual aspirations brilliance or aptitude. It discouraged Albert’s genius and originality.Albert’s defiance is misunderstood by his teacher’s. His “unthinking honesty” is seen as a refusal to confirm to the education and not the learning of facts. His maths teacher had a high opinion of him. He said. “I can’t teach you more and probably you’ll soon be able to teach me’. Albert was humble and unassuming and he was uncomfortable with the excessive praise. The teacher seems to recognize Albert’s rare intellectual genius and his aptitude for maths.Albert has an enquiring mind and a curious nature. He had a thirst for information and he liked to study books on science. He loved music and played his violin regularly. Albert had a frank and honest temperament and was quite sensitive and emotional. He was considered a rebel by most of his teachers. He did not compromise and adjust to the system of education which encouraged learning without understanding. For him, ideas and enquiry were more important than facts or dates. He was expelled from school for his views which did not match the existing pattern. | |

What is the summary of hornbill ch-2 ❓? |

Answer» The story, ‘We’re Not afraid to Die-if We Can All Be Together’ is a story of extreme courage and skill exhibited by Gordon Cook, his family, and crewmen in a war with water and waves for survival. In July 197 6, the narrator, his wife Mary, son Jonathan and daughter Suzanne set sail from Plymouth, England to duplicate the round-the-world voyage made 200 years earlier by Captain James Cook. They took the voyage in their professionally built ship, the Wavewalker, accompanied by two experienced sailors – Larry Vigil, an American and Herb Seigler, a Swiss, to tackle one of the world’s roughest seas – the Southern Indian Ocean.The first part of the journey, that is, about 105,000 kilometers up to Cape Town passed off very, pleasantly. On the second day out of Cape Town, -they began to encounter strong gales. Gales did not worry about the narrator. But the size of the waves was alarming – up to 15 meters, as high as the mainmast. On 25th December, the writer’s ship was in the southern Indian Ocean, 3500 kilometers to the east of Cape Town. The family celebrated their new year onboard the ship.At dawn on January 2, the waves were gigantic. Unfriendly weather and gigantic waves compelled the sailors to slow their speed, drop storm jib, and take other precautions. The danger was so obvious that the sailors completed a life-raft drill, attached lifelines, and life jackets. Suddenly at 6 pm, a tremendous explosion shook the Wavewalker and the author was thrown overboard. The ship was about to capsize when another gigantic wave hit it tossing it upright once again. The author was thrown back onto the deck, his head and ribs smashing against the walls. Despite his injuries, the narrator took charge of the situation. Somehow he found the wheel, lined up the stem for the next wave, and hung on till Mary appeared and took charge of the wheel. Larry and Herb started pumping out water like madmen. The whole starboard side bulged inwards. The narrator managed to cover the canvas across the gaps to prevent water from entering the ship. Then came more problems. Their hand pumps stopped working and electric pumps were short-circuited. Fortunately, the narrator found a spare electric pump under the chartroom that worked. The entire night was spent in pumping, steering, repairing, and sending radio signals. The narrator checked charts and calculated that He Amsterdam, a French scientific base was their only hope.Sue and Jon were injured but they said that they were not afraid to die if they could all be together. Sue’s head was swollen and she had a deep injury. The narrator became more determined to see his children’s courage. Finally, they reached lie Amsterdam, a volcanic island where they were welcomed by 28 inhabitants. Thus, the collective strength and never-failing optimism of the sailors made it possible for them to come out of the jaws of death. Though Jonathan and Suzanne did not do anything to save Wavewalker their courage, forbearance, faith, and optimism gave extra strength and persistence to the narrator and his team. The bravery of the strong-willed children is noteworthy in the story. @sahil. Bhai padha h mane lakin aache se smjh nhi aaya mujhe..? isliye pucha.. Phadlo Pta lag jayega |
