23 MAY-- STUDY MATERIAL -ENGLISH WRITTEN EXAM--- SBI PO//SBI JUNIOR ASSOCIATES (CLERK)

Dear Candidate,

Purpose :  for written exam of SBI JUNIOR ASSOCIATES (CLERK)/  SBI PO.

Now there are more than 100 post on this subject in this link, you can view all previous posts also .

Most of us take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that one day as far in the future. When we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. So we go about our pretty task, hardly aware of our listless attitude towards life.  The same lethargy, I am afraid, characterizes the use of all our faculties and senses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold blessing that lie in sight. This observation apply to those who have never suffered impairment of sight or hearing. They seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties. Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sounds hazily, without concentration, and with little appreciation. It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we have until we lose it, of not being conscious of health until we are ill. I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.
