Reading Comprehension
Everyone conforms to infancy, infancy conforms to nobody, so that
one babe commonly makes four or five out of the adults who prattle and play to it. So God has
armed youth and puberty and manhood no less with its own piquancy and charm, and made it
enviable and gracious and its claims not to be put by, if it will stand by itself. Do not think the
youth has no force, because he cannot speak to you and me. Hark! In the next room his voice is
sufficiently clear and emphatic. It seems he knows how to speak to his contemporaries. Bashful or
bold, then, he will know how to make us seniors very unnecessary.
The healthy attitude of human nature can be seen in the nonchalance of boys who are sure of a
dinner, and would disdain as much as a lord to do or say aught to conciliate one. A boy is in the
parlor what the pit is in the playhouse; independent, irresponsible, looking out from his corner on
such people and facts as pass by, he tries and sentences them on their merits, in the swift, summary
way of boys, as good, bad, interesting, silly, eloquent, troublesome. He never cumbers himself
regarding consequences, about interests and he gives an independent, genuine verdict. You should
court him: he will not court you. But the man is, as it were, clapped into jail by his consciousness.
As soon as he has once acted or spoken with eclat, he is a committed person, watched by the
sympathy or the hatred of hundreds, whose affections must now enter into his account. There is no
Lethe for this. Ah, that he could pass again into his neutrality.
These are the voices, which we hear in solitude, but they grow faint and inaudible as we enter into
the world. Everywhere society is conspiring against the manhood of every one of its members.
Society is joint – stock company, in which members agree, for the better securing of his bread
to each shareholder, to surrender the liberty and culture of the eater. The virtue in most request is
conformity. It is averse to self-reliance. What it loves is names and customs and not realities and
creators.
Whosoever is a man has to be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be
hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but
the integrity of your own mind.
No law can be sacred to me but that of my nature. Good and bad are but names very readily
transferable to that to this; the only right is what is after my constitution, the only right is what is
after me constitution, the only wrong what is against it. A man is to carry himself in the presence
of all opposition as if every thing were titular and ephemeral but he. I am ashamed to think how
easily we capitulate to badges and names, to large societies and dead institutions. Every decent
and well-spoken individual affects and sways me more than is right. I ought to go upright and vital,
and speak the rude truth in all ways.
I shun father and mother and wife and brother, when my genius calls me. I would write on the
lintels of the doorpost, whim. I hope it is somewhat better than whim at last, but we cannot spend
the day in explanation. Except me not to show cause why I seek or why I exclude company. Then,
again, do not tell me, as a good man did not to-day, of my obligation to put all poor men in good
situations. Are they my poor? I tell thee, thou foolish philanthropist, that I grudge the dollar, the
time, the cent, I give to such men as do not belong to me and to whom I do not belong. There is a
class of person to whom by all spiritual affinity I am bought and sold; for them I will go to prison,
if need be; but your miscellaneous popular charities; the education at collage of fools; the building
of meeting – house to the vain end to which many now stand; alms to sots; and the thousandfold
Relief Societies; – though I confess with shame I sometimes succumb and give the dollar, it is a
wicked dollar which by and by I shall have the manhood to withhold.
If you refuse to conform, you can experience the displeasure of the world. Hence, a man should
know how to estimate a sour face. The by – standers look askance on him in the public street or
in the friend’s parlor. In case this aversion originates from contempt and resistance similar to his
own, it might result in a sad countenance; but the sour faces of the multitude, like their sweet faces,
have no deep cause, but are caused by reasons as diverse as the direction of the wind and what he
reads in the newspapers. Yet is the discontent of the multitude more formidable than that of the
senate and the collage.
Another factor, which frightens us from self – trust in our consistency; a reverence for our past
act or word, because the eyes of others have no other data for computing our orbit than our past
acts, and we are loath to disappoint them.
But why should you keep your head over your shoulder? Why drag about this corpse of your
memory, lest you contradict somewhat you have stated in this or that public place? Suppose you
should contradict yourself; what then?
This is a rather silly consistency in our minds, which is adored by little statesmen and philosophers
and divines. Uniformly a great soul has almost nothing to do, he could just occupy himself with
his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words; and to-morrow speak what
tomorrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict everything you said to-day. – ”Ah, so
you shall be sure to be misunderstood.” – Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was
misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton,
and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. What can be considered to be truly great is to
be misunderstood.

REPORT WRITING
Project Completion
When a company undertakes a project, it uses financial resources for a specific
purposeand project completion reports are created to clarify some matters that are
related to the outcomes of a project. A typical project completion report example
features a number of points such as general project information, findings,
administrative project closure, and recommendations. All these points have a
purposeto summarize the results of a project along with pointing out some
important aspects that include performance, costs, and overall evaluation. A project
completion report example provides insights about the most common structure and
contents of this type of professional business paper.
General Project Information
InGen Corp., the research and development department, has allocated $1,2 million
for the project in order to develop a music player that would be the most suitable
for the target audience, active people who are involved in the professionalsports.
Planned start date is 01/05/2017 and the planned finish date is 05/05/2017. The
project funds were allocated to the temporary project team created from the inside
personnel of the research and development department. The original budget was
not exceeded and the planned deadline was met timely.
Findings
Project outcomes can be considered positive as the work group was able to identify
the preferences of the target audience, which provided the required information
and allowed the work group to successfully develop the most suitable design for
the upcoming release of a new music player for active people. Additionally, it was
found out that new design allows the company to save up to 30% of material
expenses on each separate item. In order to complement the new design with an
appropriate technical specifics, the company requires shrinking the size of the
memory holder by 20%. As for the costs ofdevelopment, the work group was able
to stay within the limits of the $1,2 million budget and save $275 thousand. Saving
was achieved because most celebrities that tookpart in the survey did not demand
any kind of dividends.
Administrative Project Closure
After the prototypeplayers were created, the project team delivered the blueprints
to the main productionline and it is capable of producing the new productwithout
any additional adjustments or expenses. CEO confirmed that the new product
meets all the requirements set by the research and development department, which
allows starting the productionby the end of the third quarter of 2017. During the
work process, the team experienced an issue as system malfunction almost led to
the information leak. Additionally, while the final list of the survey participants
was already created by the start of the project, not all of them arrived.
Recommendations
The main recommendation for the project is to improve the stability and security of
the internal network because it is not isolated this can lead to the information theft.
IT department should solve the issue as soonas possible. Additionally,
communications department should verify the number of participants several times
before sending the final list to the project teams.

Plot:-
The movie tells the story of Raj Malhotra (Amitabh Bachchan), his wife Pooja
(Hema Malini), and their four sons Ajay (Aman Verma), Sanjay (Samir Soni),
Rohit (Saahil Chadda), and Karan (Nasir Kazi). The couple have provided their
children with everything, often at the costof Raj's and Pooja's own requirements.
The Malhotras have an adopted son Alok (Salman Khan), who is in love with
Arpita (Mahima Chaudhry). Alok was an orphan and Raj provided him with
money and education, bringing him up as his own son. Now a successfulman,
Alok worships Raj because of all his help and thinks of him as his father.
Raj has a flourishing job. But, once he retires, he is unable to supporthimself and
has to vacate the house he and Pooja have shared for years. They decide to live
with their kids to enjoy their love and affection. However, their kids do not want
them.The children decide to split the parents up, each parent going to live with one
of the sons for the next six months. The children think their parents will refuse the
offer and, therefore, they will remain in their home. However, the parents
reluctantly acceptthe offer.
The parents endure this separation as well as horrible treatment from their children
after all they have sacrificed for them. Their grandson, Rahul, is the only one who
gives Raj love and affection. Saddened by the treatment he has received from his
children and their families, Raj writes down his feelings about how he fulfilled his
children's dreams and, in return, how they treat him, as well as his love for his
wife, and how much pain their separation has caused. His writing eventually
becomes a novel. Pooja, meanwhile, endures abuse from her son and daughter-in-
law(Suman Ranganathan), as well as her granddaughter, Payal (Rimi Sen). Payal,
though, realizes her mistake when Pooja saves her from her boyfriend's sexual
advances and nurtures Pooja with love.
While changing their trains after six months, Raj and Pooja spend some time
together in Vijaynagar. There they suddenly meet Alok, who takes them to his
home and gives them the importance and care which their real sons did not. Raj
finds out that his writing has become a published booknamed Baghban. This book
becomes a big hit, selling the first copies immediately. Raj, as a result, gains the
money he needs to supporthimself and Pooja in their old age. Their sons ask their
parents for forgiveness to achieve this end. Payal and Rahul (Master Yash Pathak)
(Sanjay's son), though, realize their true motives and refuse to come with their
parents. Raj is honored for his work, and the four sons attend with their wives.
When they ask Raj to forgive them, he refuses and instead disowns them. Not even
Pooja will forgive her children for the pain they have put them through.
Raj stays with Pooja at their old home, near Alok and Arpita, and enjoy the
company of Rahul and Payal, who have in turn disowned their parents.

So God has armed youth and puberty and manhood no less with its own piquancy and charm, and made it enviable and gracious and its claims not to be put by, if it will stand by itself. Do not think the youth has no force, because he cannot speak to you and me. Hark! In the next room his voice is sufficiently clear and emphatic. It seems he knows how to speak to his contemporaries. Bashful or bold, then, he will know how to make us seniors very unnecessary. The healthy attitude of human nature can be seen in the nonchalance of boys who are sure of a dinner, and would disdain as much as a lord to do or say aught to conciliate one. A boy is in the parlor what the pit is in the playhouse; independent, irresponsible, looking out from his corner on such people and facts as pass by, he tries and sentences them on their merits, in the swift, summary way of boys, as good, bad, interesting, silly, eloquent, troublesome. He never cumbers himself regarding consequences, about interests and he gives an independent, genuine verdict. You should court him: he will not court you. But the man is, as it were, clapped into jail by his consciousness. As soon as he has once acted or spoken with eclat, he is a committed person, watched by the sympathy or the hatred of hundreds, whose affections must now enter into his account. There is no Lethe for this. Ah, that he could pass again into his neutrality. These are the voices, which we hear in solitude, but they grow faint and inaudible as we enter into the world. Everywhere society is conspiring against the manhood of every one of its members. Society is joint – stock company, in which members agree, for the better securing of his bread to each shareholder, to surrender the liberty and culture of the eater. The virtue in most request is conformity. It is averse to self-reliance. What it loves is names and customs and not realities and creators. Whosoever is a man has to be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. No law can be sacred to me but that of my nature. Good and bad are but names very readily transferable to that to this; the only right is what is after my constitution, the only right is what is after me constitution, the only wrong what is against it. A man is to carry himself in the presence of all opposition as if every thing were titular and ephemeral but he. I am ashamed to think how easily we capitulate to badges and names, to large societies and dead institutions. Every decent and well-spoken individual affects and sways me more than is right. I ought to go upright and vital, and speak the rude truth in all ways.

    I shun fatherand mother and wife and brother, when my genius calls me. I would write on the lintels of the doorpost, whim. I hope it is somewhat better than whim at last, but we cannot spend the day in explanation. Except me not to show cause why I seek or why I exclude company. Then, again, do not tell me, as a good man did not to-day, of my obligation to put all poor men in good situations. Are they my poor? I tell thee, thou foolish philanthropist, that I grudge the dollar, the time, the cent, I give to such men as do not belong to me and to whom I do not belong. There is a class of person to whom by all spiritual affinity I am bought and sold; for them I will go to prison, if need be; but your miscellaneous popular charities; the education at collage of fools; the building of meeting – house to the vain end to which many now stand; alms to sots; and the thousandfold Relief Societies; – though I confess with shame I sometimes succumb and give the dollar, it is a wicked dollar which by and by I shall have the manhood to withhold. If you refuse to conform, you can experience the displeasure of the world. Hence, a man should know how to estimate a sour face. The by – standers look askance on him in the public street or in the friend’s parlor. In case this aversion originates from contempt and resistance similar to his own, it might result in a sad countenance; but the sour faces of the multitude, like their sweet faces, have no deep cause, but are caused by reasons as diverse as the direction of the wind and what he reads in the newspapers. Yet is the discontent of the multitude more formidable than that of the senate and the collage. Another factor, which frightens us from self – trust in our consistency; a reverence for our past act or word, because the eyes of others have no other data for computing our orbit than our past acts, and we are loath to disappoint them. But why should you keep your head over your shoulder? Why drag about this corpse of your memory, lest you contradict somewhat you have stated in this or that public place? Suppose you should contradict yourself; what then? This is a rather silly consistency in our minds, which is adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. Uniformly a great soul has almost nothing to do, he could just occupy himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words; and to-morrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict everything you said to-day. – ”Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.” – Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. What can be considered to be truly great is to be misunderstood. 1. Which of the following statements would best describe the main theme of the above passage? 1. “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little mind.” 2. “Eternal youth means eternal independence.” 3. “Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist.” 4. “Colleges are designed to educate fools.” 5. “Infancy conforms to nobody.” 2. When is the period during which we are most nonconformist? 1. infancy

Even though a person might be considered inconsistent, he shouldn’t hesitate to change his mind if he feels the need to. 5. It is seldom, that nice people succeed 4. As inferred from the passage, the refusal ofyoung people to cater to accept public opinion is: 1. A feature of the rebelliousness of youth 2. A healthy attitude of human nature 3. A manifestation of deep- seated immaturity 4. Simply bad manners 5. Part of growing up 5. “Society is a joint-stock company etc.” is one way which the author shows 1. The anti-culture attitude of the public 2. Society is highly organized and structured 3. The self-rejection of society 4. The lack of room for solitude in our world 5.
