I Will Fly

                         I WILL FLY
                                        - A P J Abdul Kalam
Activity - II

Dear friends, 
     “Well began is half done” and “Self help is the best help “ are the two ideas which come running to my mind when I think of any PUBLIC EXAMINATION. Isn’t it true? Class X is the culmination of high school education and it is also a permanent record of our academic excellence in school. We have been striving for 10 long years to achieve success in this exam. 
          To face reality with confidence must be our first aim. The exam is real, it must be attended and we must write on paper to express our ideas. For this year – end exam preparation must begin early ‘Planning ‘ is the key note to success and achievement .That’s the meaning of “well began is half done”. Secondly, we ourselves have to study early and write well. No one can substitute us. No short cut is the route to success. Only hard work can ensure victory. So self help is the best help. 
           Some of Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam’s words come to my mind when I think of the word “SELF – CONFIDENCE”. All of us are born with ‘Potential’-that is power. 
We all have talents. But we do not realize them. We look around and compare ourselves with others. We must use our talents to the maximum. Studies must be our first priority. We must have an ambition. Wishing for good luck, looking at the stars will not make us reach anywhere. We must put heart and soul and full dedication to achieve our goal. The ignited mind of the youth is the most powerful resource on earth. We must become useful to our society and contribute to its development. We must believe that “ I 
am born with wings”. Wings must enable us to fly. Fly high in the world of education; secure a job to earn money. But, my dear friend for all this, the base is STD X. The marks we score in this exam is our ticket to the skies. We must learn and then earn a living.
      So let us all be inspired by Dr.Kalam. Let us accept his ideas .Let us plan early, study hard face the exam with confidence and get full scores in the X exams. 
   Let our country be full of ignited youth who will lead India to development.
Thank you

Sub : Regarding Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam's Speech - 'I will Fly'
Dear friend, 
      Hello and how are you? Things are going on fine here in Kerala. I have joined school for plus one course in Apex Public School . You too must be going to school right? Did you join for the commerce group? How does the new subjects feel? Are you still in New Indian School, Dubai? Well, when will you be arriving here next year? I have a lot of things to convey to you. 
        The best thing I saw in the Plus one course is a set of new books and a new 
syllabus. Especially the new English Text .Oh, my dear friend….all the stories and articles are so nice; and so inspiring. The text is printed in colour and even has pictures and grammar exercises; for the first time in history. 
         Let me tell you about one of our lessons. A speech by Dr.A.P.J Abdul Kalam. Its title-“I will fly”. Actually this was a speech delivered by Dr.Kalam to a set 
of university students at “Pavai Institutions” on (13.10.13) Thirteenth 
October, 2013. Its original title was “HAVE A GOAL TO SOAR HIGH”. 
        We should note that all the ideas given by Dr.Kalam to the students are 
positive and inspiring. He says that the “ignited mind of the youth is the most powerful resource on earth” .He also talks about the ancient poem – “I Will Fly” by the Persian poet “Jalaluddin Rumi”. 
This poem gave me new confidence and I looked into myself and found that God has created all of us with immense potential and talents. We should fly high in life with confidence. 
     He also stressed the fact that we the youth have a very hard battle to face , the battle to be “you”-a UNIQUE self, because we are forced to be what some others force us to become. We have to be ‘our self’- we must be positive and become GREAT.
     So, look up the internet or try and read his lecture, you will surely be inspired to be UNIQUE. 
Bye, see you. 
Lovingly,
Name

Mention the underlying ideas in the expression ‘pillars of the house’.         The pillars are the main supports of the house. It is not possible to have a house without pillars.

How does the poet portray the bond between a mother and her children?        According to the poet, children get their love from their mother. She is their light of love.

The bond between a mother and her children can be compared to a stem and its branches. 3. Comment on the expression from ‘floor to roof. At...

Match box - Textual questions

Textual Questions 1. Why are women compared to matchboxes?       They are compared to matchboxes because like matchboxes they too contain enough gun powder to make a hundred Lankas burn. But they sit around meek and innocent in the kitchen, in the pantry, in the bedroom, in fact in any place. 2. What makes Nomita furious?        Ajit’s habit of reading letters addressed to her makes her furious. Sometimes he does not even show her the letters. She tried many things to stop him from that habit. She showed anger, took offence, tried to shame him and used sarcasm. Nothing worked. He just laughs it away. 3.
