उत्तर
There is a wise saying that, ‘While in the search for success, use the stairs’. Success that comes steadily and in a meticulous manner stays for a relatively longer time.
Lives of great people show us that success is earned in a slow and steady manner. The Curies, for example, spent almost their entire life in the fulfilment of their dreams i.e. the discovery of Radium and Polonium. Mahatma Gandhi is respected for his weapon of Satyagraha, which steadily but surely won India her freedom. We live in an age of ‘get rich quick’ or ‘lose weight fast’. All these fast techniques only result in losing money quickly and no other benefits. Short-cuts may often seem attractive from a distance but turn out to be dangerous or unsuccessful in the long run. People, who use short ways to reach success, are unable to enjoy it as much as the ones who steadily climb the ladder of success. If one desires to enjoy success to its fullest, they must avoid taking shortcuts.

Write an original short story entitled: ‘The Missed Call’.
It is widely believed that people do their best work when they are promised rewards for their achievements. Our schools and workplaces operate on the assumption that good work occurs when people are competing for grades, money, or recognition from others. In truth, the prospect of rewards provided by others can inhibit and limit people’s drive and creativity. People do their best work when motivated from within by their enjoyment of a particular challenge and their satisfaction in doing something well.
