VI. Reading the following passages and answer the questions that follow: 1´5=5

e
I am seldom considered, though I do more to influence everything about you than virtually anyone

n
.
thing in your life. I often control the time you get up in the morning, the time you go to sleep, what you eat

h a
and drink and the very thought that runs through your head. I can make you happy or sad, loving or hateful,
cheerful or remorseful, congenial or spiteful and in doing so, control the very capacity that you have for

i b
success. Often at times unable to find anyone else to blame you look for shortcomings within yourself on which

t
to lay the blame. When my impact on your life fully is considered in your every thought and action, when you

ra
are mindful of my awesome power, when you nurture and groom me for positive use in your life, I can become
more contagious than the most prolific disease ever witnessed by man. My influence will spread to every

up
person you come in contact with. Groomed and nurtured in a positive manner there will be no person or

d
obstacle that can stand in the way of my success or fail to be impacted for the better. I am Your Attitude'

VII. Read the following passage and answer the questions given below. 1´5=5
When he was bom everyone 'advised' his parents to get rid of the kid as he was blind. But his parents,

at
who were not affluent by any counts, chose to take care of him, that too, to the best of their abilities and gave
him education. Forbes has named him in the list of super achievers from Asia under the age of 30 but

pr
visually challenged Srikanth Bolla is in no mood to celebrate. His goal is to get into the Forbes list of richest

u
persons - and he won't settle for anything less.

a d
Such is the determination of the 25 year-old, who was bom blind and overcame all adversities to
become the first international blind student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and now heads

e n
a Rs 30 crore ($4.6 million) company.

. e
Visiting manufacturing plants in different locations in Telangana and Karnataka, attending business
meetings and, in between, troubleshooting over the phone, the CEO of Bollant Industries is a busyman.

w w
Born in a family of farmers in Machilipatnam in Andhra Pradesh, life has been one long struggle for
him. After passing his Class 10 exam he chose the science stream for the plus-two stage but was not

w
permitted to write the Joint Entrance Exam for IIT-aspirants as he was blind. "I said when IIT doesn't want
me, I don't want IIT either. Let me find the best opportunity in the world - better than IIT. MIT being the top
school in the world, I always wanted to go there and I went there," said Srikanth, who has a B.SC in
management from MIT.
