Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep
inside them- a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have the skill and the will. But the will
must be stronger than the skill. Successful professionals thrive in the same manner. We all have
natural talents. If we use that talent to set our goal in life, we can easily get success in life. We
shall not achieve our goals if we do not take action to achieve them. Setting goals has two
valuable assets - a sense of originality and a stepping stone to illuminate the path. Goals put one
at the helm of life; pursuing them acknowledges a better future situation. They help to steer a
course of life rather than simply drifting along and letting things happen. Setting goals may
appear easy, but, for some, it is quite challenging. Fear of failure may be avoided in the absence
of any goals. After all, one has to decide what one wants to achieve in the end. To accomplish
goals, experts recommend a five step approach.

We can do it ...
You may ask that - what can one person do? I would recall a story of my childhood: A
heavy fire had broken out in the forest. All the animals were running away, including lion, the
king of the forest. Suddenly, then he saw a tiny bird rushing towards the fire. He asked the bird,
m

“What are you doing?” To the lion’s surprise, the bird replied “I am going to extinguish the
fire.” The lion laughed and said, “How can you do it keeping just one drop of water, in your
beak?” The bird was adamant, and she said, “I am doing my bit.”
Eighteen years ago, millions of individuals marched across the globe. And demanded a
Sa

new international law for the abolition of worst form of child labour, and it has happened, we
did it, millions of individuals did it.
Friends! We live in an age of rapid globalisation. We are connected through high-speed
Internet. We exchange our goods and services in one single global market. Thousands of flights
every day connect us from one corner to another corner of the globe. But there is one serious
disconnect and there is a lack of compassion. Let us inculcate and transform these individuals’
compassion into a global compassion. Let us globalise compassion.
Mahatma Gandhi said, “If we are to teach real peace in this world... we shall have to
begin with the children.” I humbly add, let us unite the world through the compassion for our
children.
I ask - Whose children are they who stitch footballs, yet never played with one? Whose
children are they who harvest cocoa, yet have never tasted chocolate?
Whose children are they who are dying of Ebola?
Whose children are they who are kidnapped and held hostage?
They are all our children.

I remember an eight-year-old girl we rescued from intergenerational forced labour from


stone quarries. When she was sitting in my car right after her rescue, she asked me: “Why did
you not come earlier?”
Her angry question still shakes me – and has the power to shake the whole world. Her
question is for all of us. What are we doing? What are we waiting for? How many girls will we
allow to go without rescue?
Children are questioning our inaction and watching our actions.
We need collective actions with a sense of urgency. Every single minute matters, every
single child matters, every single childhood matters.

The World is Mine
Today on a bus, I saw a lovely girl with silken hair
I envied her, she seemed so gay, and I wished I was so fair
When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle
She had one leg and wore a crutch, but as she passed- a smile
O God, forgive me when I whine
I have two legs, the world is mine
And then I stopped to buy some sweets, The lad who sold them had such charm
I talked with him, he seemed so calm, and if I were late, it would do no harm,
And as I left he said to me “I thank you, you have been so kind”
It’s nice to talk with folks like you. You see, I’m blind
O God forgive me when I whine

t
I have two eyes, the world is mine

en
Later walking down the street, I saw a child with eyes of blue
He stood and watched the others play; it seemed he knew not what to do
I stopped a moment, then I said, why don’t you join the others dear”
He looked ahead without a word, and then I knew he could not hear
O God forgive me when I whine

nt
I have two ears, the world is mine
With legs to take me where I’ll go
With eyes to see the sunset’s glow
With ears to hear what I would know
O God forgive me when I whine

Q.4 (A) Read the following passage and do the activities. [10 Marks]
m

(A1) State whether you agree or disagree with these statements: (2)
i. Discipline means taking away freedom completely.
ii. Discipline is an act of love.
iii. Preventing a problem before it arises is discipline.
Sa

iv. A disciplined environment makes children responsible.


What is discipline? Is it some kind of a punishment for wrong actions? Does it mean freedom
needs to be taken away completely? The answer is neither of the above. Discipline is loving
firmness. It is giving direction. It is prevention before a problem arises. It is about utilising
energy in a positive way, for a great performance. Discipline is something you do for those
you care about. Discipline is an act of love. Not all medicines are sweet but we have to take
them. We need to learn from nature. We are all familiar with the big animal, the giraffe. A
female giraffe gives birth to a baby giraffe standing. All of a sudden, the baby falls on the
ground from the cushion of its mother’s womb and sits on the ground. The first thing that the
mother does is get behind the baby and give it a hard kick. The baby gets up but sits down
again. The mother keeps kicking till the baby gets up on its feet and starts moving. Why?
Because she knows that it will survive in the jungle only if it is on its feet. Otherwise, it will
be eaten up by wild cats. Freedom does not mean full enjoyment of our desires but
controlling and correctly balancing them. Children brought up in a loving yet disciplined
environment end up as responsible, law-abiding citizens.

books, free of cost. But I have to see how money is arranged for my studies ahead. I miss my mother
because she would have never let me face any difficulty. Till her end, she was stitching clothes so that
we could study. It was her dream to see me as a medical graduate”, says Veena with tears in her eyes.
