Some parts of it are as follows:

5) We should pray to God without any feelings of ______________________________
__________________________________________________


Que 2) Complete the following table:- (3marks)
No.**** I will say ***************** Situation
1 **** Thank you ****************** ___________________
2 **** Please ********************* ___________________
3 **** Sorry ********************* ___________________

Que 3) Answer the following:- (2marks)
1. Do you pray to God only when you need something?
2. Do you think of God while praying?

Que 4) Write the ways you can show loyalty towards
1) Your house :
2) Your school:
3) Your country:


These questions are soul touching and now I can understand that they are only meant for little angles. Because real world is a rude shock.
Nice experience to be in childhood days when we were forced to cram answers of such questions. I wish there are examples of moral values also in present world.

Economists...............

Recently I saw a comment which suggested a reading-
“Why Are Not Economists As Important As Garbage Men?” by David Colander.
I thought about Garbage Men first i.e why are they important, what kind of work they do. Indeed they are part of the integrated part of our society. But what they do is "They dump garbage from one place to another(is that really of use)" Even they have to be told how to manage that garbage in a way it is least harmful. For which they need technical knowledge which comes from Science. Though implementation is done by atomic unit of the system only. This process is nice but it should be efficient and cost effective. I think here comes the Economists.
I don't think Economists belong to some special breed, according to me they belong to a family called Researchers and I belive they all work for the betterment of Mankind.
I wish sometime I am part of that Group.
If we talk about importance "I'll say all the things are well placed by God"

A few lines from a poem I like
" THE MOUNTAIN AND THE SQUIRREL"--Ralph Waldo Emerson

“You are doubtless very big;

But all sorts of things and weather

Must be taken in together

To make up a year

And a sphere.

And I think it no disgrace

To occupy my place.

If I'm not so large as you,

You are not so small as I,

And not half so spry:

I'll not deny you make

A very pretty squirrel track.

Talents differ; all is well and wisely put;

If I cannot carry forests on my back,

Neither can you crack a nut."
