प्रश्न
Would you like to join the Indian Army/Navy/ Air force? If not, suggest other ways in which you could serve your nation.

उत्तर
Although I hold the Defence Services in the highest regard and salute their devotion to the country, I personally would like to serve my country in a different way. Dr. APJ Kalam’s autobiography has deeply inspired me to serve my nation by becoming a space scientist and contributing to the Indian Space Research Organization. Besides working for the ISRO, I would like to serve my nation by being more aware of my duties as a citizen. Participating in cleanliness drives and rural development programs and helping the underprivileged are alternate ways by which I can indirectly serve my nation.

Narrate an incident from your own experience when you helped someone to prepare a meal.
Explain what you did and what you gained from this experience.
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.
What do you think motivates people to do their best? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observation.
