Perseverance Is the Key to Success.

Expansion of Ideas School & College Section. 

Perseverance means to continue steadfastly, especially in something that is difficult or tedious. It requires regular practice to develop the quality of perseverance. Only a patient person with strong determination can achieve his goal by perseverance. When a child learns to stand up and tries to walk, he is found to fall down again and again. And by nature and instinct, he gets up, and again tries to step forward, although again he falls down. But ultimately, he succeeds in walking. The same thing had once happened with each one of us, when we were children. Perseverance is the secret of success. Without it, no great achievement is possible. Even if a person is not very talented, not highly knowledgeable, but of average merit, still he can succeed in life simply by his perseverance.

In human life, perseverance plays a very important role. Modern science, architecture, literature, music - in every sphere of life - perseverance is the root cause of success and glory. Shakespeare did not compose such voluminous works just in a day. He had to work hard during days and nights with tremendous perseverance to create such great masterpieces. Therefore, perseverance must be practiced from one's very childhood so that the noble habit becomes a part and parcel of one's life. With that great asset or goodwill, a man can walk easily on the hazardous road of his life's journey; and success will be his and his only.

What is Expansion of an Idea?

An Idea for expansion may be a proverb, a quotation or a slogan. Primarily the given statement must be expanded by way of explanation of its meaning and other substantial supporting matter. Broadly speaking, the given statement must be expanded into two paragraphs, each of about 40 to 50 words.

The first paragraph must contain explanatory matter. The second paragraph may contain further details of what is stated in the first paragraph or may even contain anecdotes, examples, illustrations, related quotations, etc.

What is a letter?

A letter is a form of written communication between two persons or two parties on a particular topic, matter, issue, incident, etc. It serves the purpose of documentation as well.

How to Write a Good Letter.

A letter is a direct address to the  addressee. Hence it must be appealing.

The ideas must be original and relevant.

Include your own viewpoints and opinions on the topic only where called for.

Write the letter in simple but correct English.

Choose the most appropriate words, phrases and idiomatic expressions so as to arrive at an effective style.

In official and commercial letters, avoid jargon as far as possible.

On completion of the letter, check whether it reads well as a composite whole.  

CODE MIXING

Code - mixing is the use of two languages at the same time or rather change of language at the same time. Let me give you example of both to make it clearer.

Example of Code Mixing:

Yeh train ka time change ho gaya hai kya?

If you notice in these particular sentences there is mix of Hindi and English. This is an example of code - mixing. In advertisements, TV commercials, and day-to-day conversations we can get numerous examples of code - mixing.

Code-mixing has given rise to new languages like Hinglish (Hindi + English) Tanglish (Tamil + English)

Radio jockeys and TV anchors deliberately mix English words with stream of Hindi sentence to sound more hep and funky.
