Q4: Read the following passage
carefully and answer the questions given at the end. 25 Marks
Honesty is the surest way to success.
The day at last comes when the dishonest man repents in sorrow and suffering.
But no man ever needs to repent of having been honest. Even when the honest man
fails through lacking other qualities such as energy, economy, or system, his
failure is not the grievous thing as it is to the dishonest man. He can always
rejoice in the fact that he has never defrauded a fellow being. Even in his
darkest hour, he finds response in a clear conscience. Ignorant men imagine
that dishonesty is short-cut to prosperity. This is why they practise it. The
dishonest man is morally short-sighted. He is like the drunkard who sees the
immediate pleasure of his habit, but not the ultimate degradation. He sees the
immediate effect of a dishonest act - a large profit - but not its ultimate
outcome.
Questions:
i.
Why do honest men even fail sometimes?
ii.
Why is the dishonest man morally
shortsighted?
iii.
Why do some people practise dishonesty
in their dealings?
iv.
Is dishonesty a shortcut to prosperity?

دنیا میں ایسے آدمی بہت
کم ہوتے ہیں جن کے سامنے کوئی بُلند مقصد ہو اور وہ اس کی خاطر اپنی جان تک قربان
کر دیں ۔ ایسے ہی آدمیوں سے قوموں کی تاریخ بنتی ہے۔ ٹیپو سلطان شہید کا شمار ایسے
ہی انسانوں میں ہوتا ہے ۔ اور وہ کہا کرتے تھے کہ "شیر
کی زندگی کا ایک دن گیدڑ کی زندگی کے ایک سو سال سے بہتر ہے" یہ
بات بلکل درست ہے انسان کے لئے یہی لازم ہے کہ شیر کی طرح زندگی بسر کرے اور اللہ
کے سوا کسی سے نہ ڈرے اور ملک کے دُشمن کے سامنے چٹان کی طرح جم جائے۔
