Expansion of the idea
1. A bad workman blames his tools.
Ans. A bad workman dose not have the skills for a particular job,or dose not use his
skills in a right way ,he falls. He then blames the tools that he has ,saying that the
tools were faulty, hence he has falls.he dose not accept his shortcomings or take a
responsibility for his failure he tries to cover up his lack of skill by putting the blame
on the tools at his disposal.
This is applicable in all spheres of life. A person who is really talented and good at
his job will no how to use the opportunities at his disposal. Even if these opportunities
are not very good, he make the best use of them and succeeds.On the other hand , a
person who is not talented or is lasy , dose not use the opportunities provided to him ,
however good they are ,and then falls. He conveniently finds someone or something
to blame for his failure. He dose not want to admit that it is he himself who is at fault .
It dose not matter what ‘Tools’ we have;what matter is the way we use them ; the
use we make of our opportunities. Doesn’t everyone know that a ‘bad dancer nlames
the floor’
2. One should eat to live , not to eat – franklin
Ans. One should eat to live ,not live to eat nothing is more important in life then good
health. We cannot be really happy and content without good health ,and our health
depends to a large extent on what we eat, and hoe much we eat . our purpose of eating
should be to maintain our health ,and not as an activity in itself. We must it to nourish
our bodies,not just for the enjoyment of our palate.
If we ‘live to eat’ we are being gluttons ,We are eating not because we are hungry,
but for some other reason like boredom or depression, plain greed Too much of
anything is bad; while eating too, we must always eat in moderation.Or we will lead
slowly but surely become obese. This will lead to a multitude of health problems we
will be prey to a variety of diseases, and we cannot enjoy life if we are ill.
Instead , if we eat just what is needed to live a healthy life ,if we eat in moderation
,if we eat to live , we will remain healthy and wealthy .For, it is truly said ‘health is is
wealth’.
3. If winter come, can spring be far behind – shelley
Ans. If winter comes, can spring be far behind
This line is from shelley’s famous poem ‘ Ode to the west wind’, in which the poet
depicts the terrible effect of the west wind in different spheres.
It is horribly chilly throughout the winter in many countries. Roads are blocked by
snow, temperatures go below freezing point and it is difficult to even go out . senior
citizens , children and sick people suffer because of the intense cold. This goes on for
some time . however ,one fine day , the winter is over and it is spring . New leaves
sprout , flowers begin to bloom , birds begin to sing and the numbing cold vanishes. It
is bright and pleasant again .
Similarly , in life , periods of sorrow, misery and despair have at last to come to an
end, and happier days have to make their appearance. The long night is followed by
the bright days . hence ,we must always be optimistic; we must have self -confidence
and a positive attitude , and look forward to a better tomorrow. There is no need to get
depressed or lose hope. For, if winter comes , can spring be far nehind
4. Beauty is truth ,truth is beauty – John keats
Ans. Beauty is truth , truth is beauty
Through this statement ,the poet keats explains ideals of beauty and truth . In his eyes
,real beauty lies in things that are true . anything that is not true , that is , anything that
is false , is not beautiful .
The poet means to tell us that if we are true to our work , honest and sincere in what
we are doing ,it it will turn out to be beautiful. Whwheras , if we are false or dis
honest , if we are corrupt , the out comw of our work or life will never be beautiful . it
may be successful or beautiful superficially and temporarily , but in the long run one
will ses the true colours . mythology has always shown us that all that is true is
successful in the end ,
Hence ,you must always be truthful in your life will make people respect you, truth
you and love you . what could be more beautiful then that besides, haven’t we always
seen that honesty is the best policy.,
