Read the passage given below. (10 Marks)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The choices we make on a daily basis \u2013 wearing a seatbelt, lifting heavy objects correctly or purposely staying out of any dangerous situation \u2013 can either ensure our safety or bring about potentially harmful circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>You and I need to make a decision that we are going to get our lives in order. Exercising self-control, self-discipline and establishing boundaries and borders in our lives are some of the most important things we can do. A life without discipline is one that\u2019s filled with carelessness. We can think it\u2019s kind of exciting to live life on the edge.<\/p>\n<p>We like the image of \u201cYeah! That\u2019s me! Living on the edge! Woo-hoo!\u201d It\u2019s become a popular way to look at life. But if you see, even highways have lines, which provide margins for our safety while we\u2019re driving. If we go over one side, we\u2019ll go into the ditch. If we cross over the line in the middle, we could get killed. And we like those lines because they help to keep us safe. Sometimes we don\u2019t even realise how lines help to keep us safe.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not proud of this, but for the first 20 years of my life at work, I ignored my limits. I felt horrible, physically, most of the time. I used to tell myself \u201cI know I have limits and that I\u2019ve reached them, but I\u2019m going to ignore them and see if or how long I can get by with it.\u201d I ran to doctors, trying to make myself feel better through pills, vitamins, natural stuff and anything I could get my hands on. Some of the doctors would tell me, \u201cIt\u2019s just stress.\u201d That just made me mad. I thought stress meant you don\u2019t like what you do or can\u2019t handle life, and I love what I do. But I kept pushing myself, travelling, doing speaking engagements and so on \u2013 simply exhausting myself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Also Check: <a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/study-material\/cbse-notes\/class-10\/english\/english-workbook-class-10-solutions-integrated-grammar-practice-7\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">English Workbook Class 10 Solutions <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Finally, I understood I was living an unsustainable life and needed to make some changes in my outlook and lifestyle.<br \/>\nYou and I don\u2019t have to be like everyone else or keep up with anyone else. Each of us needs to be exactly the way we are, and we don\u2019t have to apologise for it.
