उत्तर
Life is full of unexpected problems, obstacles, and setbacks. You must have courage and resourcefulness to overcome many of these difficulties. Sometimes, things don't go as planned. Don't be afraid to take a step back, collect your thoughts, and change your plan of attack. Hence, courage plays an essential role in solving our problems. Often, breaking a big goal into multiple smaller ones can be helpful.
Resourcefulness is not just a skill, it's a superpower. It's the ability to deal promptly and effectively with difficulties, especially when you're courageous enough to face them head-on. In an emergency, keeping calm, quickly assessing the situation, and taking the right action make you resourceful. It often involves devising a creative, ingenious, or unique solution. A resourceful person thinks his way through, over, or around the obstacles or difficulties that block his path. If one method doesn't work, he tries another. This is the power of resourcefulness- it's not just about finding a solution. It's about realizing that you have the ability to create one.
A resourceful person is not just someone who reacts to challenges, but someone who is fully alert and aware of their environment. They think about what is occurring around them, and they are ready to act. He will accomplish what needs to be done - by a strategy, skill, or new approach. He is alert to other possibilities and realises that, usually, several solutions exist. The 'thrill of victory' will begin to regularly replace the 'agony of defeat' that consumes so many people who do not know that they must apply calm, careful reasoning to problems in order to defeat them. Overcoming challenges is how we grow, and being fully alert and aware of our environment is how we thrive.
Never forget: 'To tackle trials and tribulations, be courageous and practice resourcefulness!'

The call of the seas has always found an echo in me. Not being rich enough to roam in a private yacht, I have taken the poor man's way out. I swim across them. I have always been fascinated by the Indian ocean, whether at Mumbai, at Puri or at Gopalpur. I have swam in all these places and have felt the thrill. But the idea of swimming the Palk Strait did not occur to me until after I swam in the English channel. Steeped in the history and tradition of this nation, practically unconquered. teaming with hair-raising hazards, the sea between India and Sri Lanka had all the elements of challenge, danger and difficulty that tempted me. By the way, for preparation, I continued a strict and rigorous course of training which began in 1960. I also had to collect a comprehensive range of facts and information about this sea. Neither of these was easy. Despite all the information I had gathered, I soon found that very little was known about the Palk Strait, especially about the tides and currents. Everything about the English channel is known-there is the Channel Swimming Association, there are trained pilots there are wants to be hired, accurate weather forecasts, dependable tide tables and every other form of assistance was readily available. All that one needed was money. Here in the Palk Strait one has to find out firstly from where information could be obtained and then decide how much of it could be incorrect or misleading! |
