 Q.4 - Read the extract and do the activities that follow:                 [8-Marks]

If you crave not for praise when you win
And look not for sympathy while you lose
1f cheers let not your head toss or spin
And after a set-back you offer no excuse
You may be the person I am looking for.

If you accept counsel without getting sore

And-assess yourself in the light thereof

If you pledge not to be obstinate any more

And meet others without any frown or scoff

You may be the person I am looking for.

If you have the will to live and courage to die

You are a beacon -light for people far and wide

If you ignore the jeers and, thus, expose the lie

That virtue and success do not go side by side'

You are the person I am looking for.
