Supplementary units — ENGLISH [NCERT] STD 10 — Question

Richard Ebright had scientific curiosity right from his chidhood. He always spent his time in observation of his surroundings. He was an intelligent boy having interest in collection of fossils, rocks and other things. His mother recognised his driving curiosity along with his bright mind. He worked hard and entered a county science fair with a project on frog tissue. He did not win anything. He realised that the winners should try to do real experiments. A simple and neat display of facts does not win a prize. He failed to win a prize but this failure was a step towards success. He was not demotivated. It was a learning for him. We should learn from it that we should never give up and move on. After that failure, Ebright worked on real experiment and became a successful scientist.
