[1]. Hard Work Always Wins
Hard work is the most important key to success. The achievements without hard work are impossible. An idle person can never gain anything if they sit and wait for the better opportunity to come. The person who is
working hard is able to gain the success and happiness in life. Nothing is easy to be achieved in life without doing any hard work.
We have all heard of the old saying, “ Nobody ever drowned in their own sweat ! ” If you want something done
you had better get your chin up and do it. Basically success, fortunes and dreams aren’t created by themselves.They are created by work.
The Edison was working for 21 hours a day, and he sleeps only for 2 or 3 hours on the Laboratory tables with
his books as his pillow. The Mahatma Gandhi worked ceaselessly day and night and he won freedom for his country. The hard work is a price that we pay for success in the life. Our great former president Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam has achieved all this success only through sheer hard work. To support his studies, he started off as a newspaper vender. Then in his engineering studies, he worked very hard and bagged scholarships. Even our former prime minister Manmohan Singh, who was born in the village without electricity studied in candlelight and still stood first throughout his academic career. Sunil Mittal started a small bicycle business in Ludhiyana From then on with his sheer hard work, he moved on and finally founded Airtel.
There is no easy way to do hard work. You have to find your passion, stay, focused and keep at the task until
the job is done. Success never comes to one who sits idle. It is said,
“ Fortune Favors The Brave. ”
Unfortunately today’s modern youth wants everything very fast. This is a fast food era! People want to have
success in their life without exerting much but “There Is No Short Cut Of Success. ”

A Rescue operation of Burning House
August 15,2018
Any Place (Ex.Surat)
Fire accidents are not very common. But when they take place they cause great alarm and destruction and
sometimes loss of life. After taking our food in the night, we went away into our room. The beds were ready and we slept. It was 9 o'clock in the night. My father was reading a newspaper. Suddenly, we saw smoke entering our room. We wondered from where it was coming. We went out in the courtyard. The smoke was coming out of the nearby house. The house had caught fire. The neighbour was crying loudly for help. He began to take out costly things. The people came quickly for help. Some helped him in bringing out the things from the house, while others ran to a nearby well for water. There were only three buckets in the house. They cried for more buckets.
Some brought four more. Others only kept weeping in pain. The neighbours were nervous and they lost presence
of mind. They did not know what to save and what to leave behind. There was more noise and less work. People
were running over the roof and pouring water with buckets. Neighbour's young boy Raju was also pouring water
to extinguish fire. He worked very hard to put out fire. He ran with the buckets over the roof of the kitchen. Suddenly the roof fell down and he fell over the head of burning wood. We saw him in the flames. We acted
quickly and took him out of the burning home. Pappu was lucky because the intensity of fire was rising. In the
meanwhile somebody had the good sense to inform the fire-station. The fire-engines soon arrived at the site of
the fire. The firemen immediately set to the work of fire-fighting. They did their best to control and extinguish
the fire. They pumped fast the water in the flames, with their hoses. It took almost two and a half hours to control and then finally to extinguish the fire. They struggled hard and heroically. One of the firemen was seriously injured in the efforts, and a few of them had received burns and bruises. Most of the fire accidents
occur because of our carelessness. Every year there are many fire accidents, resulting in a great loss of property and life. Many of these can be easily avoided if we are more careful, and observe certain rules and regulations regarding fire-protection, etc.
