Q5  Elaborate any one of the following themes in approximately 150 words.
Failures are Stepping Stone to Success

Answer:

Failures are Stepping Stone to Success

Man acts with a view to achieving his goal in whatever field he is engaged. Obviously, he dreams of success and he will never bargain for less than success. But, success is not always the result. All his efforts may end in fiasco.The lesser men would give in to the pressure and throw their hat in. But, a man of fortitude will persevere realising that his failure is a stepping stone to success in future. He learns from his failure. The failure provides man an opportunity to analyse its cause. Having realised his shortcomings, he will adopt a prudent course on the way to success. The ascent to Mount Everest and landing on the Moon are the rare achievements of the recent past. Do we think that the only first attempt brought success to the adventurers? One shudders to think of the amount of failure they must have encountered to be at last on the top of the world. It is the indefatigable spirit that ultimately leads to success.
