उत्तर

Yes, I do agree that impossible itself says ‘I M possible’. A lot of times in life, we find ourselves in situations that seem impossible to get out of. But there is always a way out. We only need to find it. For example, small bits of grass find a way to grow through concrete pavement. It sounds impossible, but the bits of grass made it possible. It seems impossible for tiny little ants to carry a fly that is ten times their size. But they manage to do so because, through teamwork, they find a way. When I was eleven years old, I took my bicycle and went for a ride. After a while, I realised that I was lost and I didn't know my way back home. I thought it was impossible for me to find my way back, since I didn't even know the area I was in. My family didn't know where I was, and I had no way of contacting them. But then, I made up my mind and decided to ride back on the same route that I could remember taking on my way there. A lot of kind strangers helped me with the directions on the way. At a certain point, I realised I had taken a wrong turn, which left me lost. I managed to reach home safe and sound. That day, I realised that if we are determined and think that something is possible, we can achieve it.

Read the following passage and do the activities.

We have a hibiscus plant in our garden. Every fortnight a flower blooms on it - big, bright and tender. Through the day it smiles with the sun and dances with the wind, but as evening approaches, it starts wilting. The morning after, it withers completely and by evening it falls and becomes one with the earth again. The flower comes to life only for a day, yet it does so in full splendour. What if we too lived our life, however short, to its fullest?
We went to a rocky beach and saw the spread of the majestic ocean and the rocks alongside, carved, sculpted and shaped by the water. Water is so gentle, rock so hard, yet, as the water flows over it every day, for years, the rock gives in. It takes the shape that the water commands. Our problems are so colossal and we are so small, yet if we persist...
We saw small bits of grass peeping through the small cracks in a concrete pavement. It left us thinking: however impossible things may look, there is always an opening...
We saw a tree bare of all leaves in the cold winter months. We thought its chapter was over. But three months passed, spring set in and the tree was back to its green majesty once again, full of leaves, flowers, birds and life. What if we too had the conviction that, however difficult things are right now, it will not remain so for ever. Remember, this too shall pass.
