5. Write a précis ofthefollowing passage. Give a suitable title. 4

The man who is perpetually hesitating which of the two things he will do first, will do
neither. Theman who resolves, but suffers his resolution to be changed by the first counter
suggestion of afriend, -who fluctuates from opinion to opinion, from plan to plan, and veers
like a weather-cock to every point of the compass, with every breath of caprice that blows -
can never accomplish anything great or useful. Instead ofbeing progressive in anything, he
willbe at best stationary, and more probably retrograde in all. It is only the man who first
consults wisely, then resolves firmly, and then executes his purpose with flexible perseverance,
undismayed by those petty difficulties which daunt a weaker spirit, that can advance to
eminence at any line. Take your course wisely, but firmly; and having taken it, hold upon it
with heroicresolution, and the Alps and Pyrenees will sink before you.
