Q2. 15 (इंग्रजी उताऱ्याचे मराठीत भाषांतर करा)
Modern India is developing fast. The country has opened its doors to multinational companies. So it needs an educated work force. Which knows English. Many educational courses are conducted exclusively in English. Many books, journals, manuals etc. are published only in English. The competitive examinations on the national level in India are conducted in English. So one has to master this language. The knowledge of English has become the need of time. You are what you think you are. You feel what you want to feel. Do you frequently hear yourself saying or thinking 'I can't?' If you say or think in this manner, you will soon believe it. It will become a self fulfilling prophecy and you will feel more powerless and out of control. Adopt turnaround mentality: Believe in yourself and realise that you are a capable person. Give yourself positive, encouraging statements. If your goal requires a response or approval from others. You can sometimes feel helpless and out of control. Work at feeling good about yourself and become more self reliant. Seek help when you need it. There is immense power in positive thinking. Research proves people who have a sunny, optimistic outlook live longer and recover faster than those who are constantly worrying.
