Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
One of the unhealthiest emotions is anger. It destroys our ability to think clearly, properly and in totality. Anger
also has adverse impact on health. If you ask a selection of people what triggers their anger, you would get a wide
range of answers. However, whatever the cause, even a single word spoken in anger can leave a lasting
impression on a person’s heart and has the ability to ruin the sweetness of any relationship.
A sage once said, “How can there be peace on earth if the hearts of men are like volcanoes ?” We can live in
harmony with others only when we overcome anger and make room for peace. So how can we set about creating
that sense of peace within ourselves ? It starts with the realization that w do have the choice to think and feel the
way we want to. If we look at what it is that makes us angry, we might discover there is nothing that has the
power to make us feel this way. We can only allow something to trigger our anger – the anger is a way in which
we respond to an event or person. But because we are so used to reacting on impulse, we forget to choose how
we want to feel, and end up reacting inappropriately, leaving ourselves with angry feelings.
Meditation helps us create personal space within ourselves so that we have the change to look, weigh the
situation, and respond accordingly, remaining in a state of self-control. When we are angry, we have no self-
control. At that moment, we are in a state of internal chaos, and anger can be a very destructive force.

A remarkable feature of Edison's inventions was their basic simplicity. There were innumerable scientists
possessing deep knowledge of electicity ,chemistry etc. but it was unschooled genius who succeeded where the
failed . What were his unique qualities ? He had an uncanny ability to judge the practical use of any scientific fact.
Secondly, he was blessed with patience and preservnece. He would try out countless ideas till he found the right
one. Third was his business acumen which enablled him to earn the large sums of money to conduct the
experimental work .
Edison's enthusiasm for work and optimistic attitude ensured a long and productive life. Only after crossing the
age of 75 did he start slowing down. During his final illness , his curiosity about his condition ,medicines and
treatment made the doctors think that possibly he was taking this too as one of his scientific investigations! He
passed away on 18 October, 1931, at the ripe old age of eighty four. During his lifetime itself Edison became one
of the famous men in the world. Honours were showered on him. Among them was the congressional gold in
1928, for his contributions to human welfare. In 1960, he was posthumously elected to the Hall of Fame for great
Americans at the New York university. But the tribute that was most eloquent was quite unintended.
