PASSAGE (Next 3 Questions)
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.

The great Acharyas have said that having discovered a great goal, surrender yourself to that goal and act towards it, drawing your inspiration from that goal whereby you will get a new column of energy. Do not allow this energy to be dissipated in the futile memories of past regrets of failure, not in the excitement of the present, and thus bring that entire energy focussed into activity. That is the highest creative action in the world outside. Thereby the individual who is till now considered as most inefficient finds his way to the highest achievement and success. This is said very easily in a second. But in order to train our mind to this attitude needs considerable training because we have already trained the mind wrongly to such an extent that we have become perfect in imperfections.
