उत्तर
A pupil may think that securing a first-class at an examination is beyond his reach; an engineer may feel that harnessing the tidal sea wave to run the machine is impracticable; a medical researcher may believe that a particular disease is incurable. But if each one of these makes a firm resolve to achieve his goal and applies himself to it wholeheartedly, it is almost certain that success will crown his relentless efforts. History often bears out the truth of this assertion. There was a time when flying in the air orbiting the Earth, travelling in space, and sending speech over the air were all regarded as flights of fancy. But today, we see that these seemingly impossible things have become possible. The aeroplane, the spaceship, the radio, and the television are now realities.
How have these impossibilities been achieved? The answer is clear and simple by: man's supreme willpower, determination, and dedication. The great doer is never a pessimist or a defeatist. He is a staunch optimist, confident of ultimate success. Nothing can stop, daunt, or deflect him from his avowed purpose. He knows that where there is a will, there is a way. He has the will to win, so he finds ways and marches through to ultimate victory. A man of will explore the earth's impassable deserts and impenetrable forests, scales Mount Everest, sails to the North Pole and the South Pole, plumbs the depths of oceans, conquers space and one by one conquers the forces of nature and dreadful diseases. Nothing is impossible for him; his inventive genius is the crown of creation.
Let us cultivate a strong will, a keen desire, and the determination to achieve our ideals, for where there is a will, there is a way. If there's no way, we will make one. Victory is bound to be ours.

BUNGEE-JUMPING
Bungee jumping is an activity that involves jumping from a tall structure while connected to a long elastic cord. The tall structure is usually a fixed object, such as a building, bridge or crane; but it is also possible to jump from a movable object, such as a hot-air-balloon or helicopter, that has the ability to hover above the ground. The thrill comes from the freefalling and the rebound. When the person jumps, the cord stretches, and the jumper flies upwards again as the cord recoils and continues to oscillate up and down until all the kinetic energy is dissipated.
Jumping Heights, located in Mohan Chatti village, in Rishikesh has been rated as one of the most preferred bungee jumping destinations in India at a height of 83 meters. It is the only place in India where bungee jumping can be done from a fixed platform. This is also India’s only fixed platform Bungee- performed from a professional cantilever, to separate it from entertainment parks, and create instead, an extreme adventure zone. The Bungee has been designed by David Allardice of New Zealand.
The Cantilever platform is built over a rocky cliff over-looking the river Hall, a tributary of River Ganges. Bungee-ing amidst the vastness of nature lends the experience an absolutely breathtaking quality. Jumping heights is well known for its safety measures and experienced staff. It costs around Rs 2500 per jump, a bit expensive, but totally worth the experience. The Bungee jumping experience has been set amidst the astoundingly stunning landscape of Rishikesh. To Bungee jump, one must be at least 12 years and should weigh between 40-110 kg.
