3. Writing Speech
(भाषण लेखन)

(i) Prepare a speech on Work is worship’.
‘ कार्य ही पूजा है पर एक भाषण लिखो।’

The most honoured Principal Sir, Respected Teachers and Dear Friends No one can dispute that work is worship; only those who work attain the highest stairs of success in life. Everyone of us knows that one could become great because he or she worked hard. Our Scriptures across religions advocate the saying. In the Gita Lord Krishna says to Arjun “Karmanayavadhikarste ma faleshu kadachan.” The persons who believe simply in rituals and prefer to abstain from their work, God does not forgive them and they fail to attain success in their life. आदणीय प्रधानाचार्य, सम्मानीय गुरुजनों एवं प्यारे मित्रो इस बात में कोई भी मतभेद नहीं कि काम ही पूजा है; केवल वही सफलता के उच्च शिखरपर पहुंचते हैं जो काम करते हैं। हममें से प्रत्येक जानता है कि कोई तभी महान बन सका जब उसने कठोर परिश्रम किया। हमारे धर्मग्रन्थ भी यही कहते हैं। गीता में भगवान कृष्ण कहते हैं, ‘कर्मण्ये वाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन।’ जो व्यक्ति केवल कर्मकाण्ड में विश्वास करते हैं और कर्म से दूर भागते हैं उनको भगवान कभी क्षमा नहीं करते और वे अपने जीवन में सफलता पाने में असमर्थ हो जाते हैं।

(ii) Prepare a Debate on ‘Success leads to Arrogance’ ‘सफलता घमण्ड लाती है’ पर एक वाद-विवाद लिखिये।

Hon’ble Judges, Respected Teachers and my Dear Friends, the debate’s topic is ‘Success leads to arrogance’ and I would like to speak in favour of the motion. Dear friends, you must have read the biography of several people such as Napolean, Hitler, Mussoline etc. What made them arrogant and brought about their untimely downfall ? My opponents would agree with me that mild success keeps a person humble and polite whereas a succession of success leads one to haughtiness. Aren’t we aware of the fact that one amongst us on his brilliant success in examination refuses to recognize and accord us respect? I would like to conclude by saying that great success snatches from a person the bare essentials of a human being and turns him into a devil. आदरणीय निर्णायक महोदय, आदरणीय गुरुजी और मेरे प्यारे मित्रो ! वाद-विवाद का शीर्षक है ‘सफलता घमण्ड लाती है और मैं इस प्रस्ताव के पक्ष में बोलना चाहता हूँ। प्रिय मित्रो, आपने अनेक लोग जैसे नेपोलियन, हिटलर, मुसोलिनी आदि की आत्मकथा पढ़ी होगी। उनको किसने घमण्डी बनाया और किसने उनका पतन किया? मेरे विरोधी मेरी इस बात से सहमत होंगे कि हल्की सफलता मनुष्य को विनम्र और शिष्ट बनाती है जबकि सफलता के बाद सफलता मनुष्य को दंभी बना देती है। क्या हम इस बात को नहीं जानते कि हममें से जब किसी को परीक्षा में अत्यंत सफलता मिलती है तो वह हमें पहचानने से मना कर देता है तथा हमें सम्मान देना भी भूल जाता है? अंत में मैं यही कहना चाहूंगा कि भारी सफलता मानव के आवश्यक गुणों को समाप्त कर उसे शैतान बना देती है।

Now prepare a debate draft-against the motion.
अव प्रस्ताव के खिलाफ एक वाद-विवाद लिखिये :
Answer:
Hon’ble Judges, My Reverened Teachers and my Dear Friends ! The debate’s topic is “Success leads to arrogance’ and I would like to speak against the motion. Dear friends! I do not agree with the views of my learned friend.

In my view success makes a man more and more humble. The education makes a man successful. We may recollect innumerable names who succecded and lead us towards right path. Mahatma Gandhi was one of the world’s most successful man and he was very humble. The arrogant English had to surrender before his courteous manners. In the same way many scientists who invented new things for the mankind were never heard about their arrogance. Thomas Alva Addison, Har Govind Khurana, C.V. Raman, Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam all were great scientists. They were truly humane. In India all the great kings are known for their politeness, mercifulness and benevolence. I would like to conclude by saying that success makes a man humble and polite rather than making him arrogant.

माननीय निर्णायक महोदय, मेरे आदरणीय गुरुजनों तथा मेरे प्यारे मित्रो! वाद-विवाद का विषय है ‘सफलता घमण्ड लाती है और मैं प्रस्ताव के विपक्ष में बोलना चाहता हूँ। प्रिय मित्रो! मैं अपने विद्वान साथी के दृष्टिकोण से सहमत नहीं हूँ लेकिन मेरे विचार से सफलता मनुष्य को और अधिक विनम्र बना देती है। शिक्षा मनुष्य को सफल बनाती है। हम अनगिनत नामों को याद कर सकते हैं। जिन्होंने सफलता पाई और हमें सही रास्ता दिखाया। महात्मा गाँधी संसार के उन सफलतम लोगों में से एक हैं और वे बड़े ही विनम्र थे घमण्डी अंग्रेजों को उनके विनम्र व्यवहार के आगे घुटने टेकने पड़े। इसी प्रकार से कई वैज्ञानिक हैं। जिन्होंने मानव जाति के लिए नई चीजों की खोज की तथा उनके घमण्ड के बारे में कभी भी नहीं सुना गया। थॉमस अल्वा ऐडिसन, हर गोविन्द खुराना, सी.बी. रमन, डॉ ए. पी.जे. अब्दुल कलाम ये सभी महान वैज्ञानिक थे। वे सही अर्थों में मानव थे। भारत में सभी महान राजाओं को उनकी विनम्रता, उदारता तथा दयालुता के लिए जाना जाता है। मैं यह कहते हुए अपनी बात को समाप्त करना चाहता हूँ। कि सफलता मनुष्य को विनम्र तथा शिष्ट बनाती है बजाय उसे घमण्डी बनाने के।
