Why, thats enough, youre done with it, youre through;

This is another race that you have planned,
Dont give vanished days a backward look,

If you can start anew and win successes;
The future is your time, and time is fleet
And there is much of work and strain and stress;

Forget the buried woes and dead despairs,
Here is a brand-new trial right at hand,
The future is for him who does and dares,
Start where you stand.

Old failures will not halt, old triumphs aid,
To-days the thing, to-morrow soon will be;
Get in the fight and face it unafraid,

A1) read the statements given below and find out whether the following statement are true or false.

i) in High School Michael had a job selling newspaper subscriptions.
ii) at the age of 29 Dell bought an expensive BMW car.
iii) she bought his first computer by selling stamps.
vi) like most post your student he didn't like earn money.

A few years later Michael had another good idea, to trade stamps by advertising in stamp magazines.  With the $2000 he made, he bought his first personal computer. Then he took it apart to figure out how it worked.
In high school Michael had a job selling newspaper subscriptions.  Newlyweds, he figured, were the best prospects, so he hired friends to copy the names and addresses of recent recipients of marriage licences. These he entered into his computer, then sent a personalized letter offering each couple a free two-week subscription.
This time Dell made $18,000and bought an expensive BMW car.  The car salesman was flabbergast when the 17- year-old paid cash.
The next year Dell enrolled at the University of Texas.  Like most first-year students, he needed to earn spending money.  Just about everyone on campus was talking about personal computers.  At the time, anyone who didn’t have a PC wanted one, but dealers were selling them at a hefty mark-up.  People wanted low-cost machines custom-made to their needs, and these were not readily available. Why should dealers get such a big mark-up f or so little added value? Dell wondered. Why not sell from the manufacturer directly to the end user?

iv) he has become 4th largest manufacturer of personal computer in America.



One afternoon in 1977, as his parents and two brothers fished in the Gulf of Mexico, 12-year-old Michael Dell sat on the beach, painstakingly putting together a trotline- a maze of ropes to which several fish hooks could be attached. You're wasting your time,” the rest of the family called to Michael, as they pulled in fish. Grab a pole and join in the fun.”
Michael kept working. It was dinner time when he finished, and everyone else was ready to call it a day. Still, the youngster cast the trotline far into the water, anchoring it to a stick that he plunged deep in the sand.
Over dinner his family teased young Michael about coming away empty-handed.  But afterwards Michael reeled in his trotline, and on the hooks were more fish than the others      had caught all together !
Michael Dell has always been fond of saying, “If you think you have a good idea,             try it! And today, at 29, he has discovered the power of another good idea that has helped him rise in just a few years from teen to tycoon.  He has become the fourth-largest manufacturer of personal computers in America and the youngest man ever to head Fortune 500 corporation.
Growing up in Houston, Texas, Michael and his two brothers were imbued by their parents, Alexander and Lorraine – he an orthodontist, she a stockbroker -with the desire to learn and the drive to work hard. Even so, stories about the middle boy began to be told early.
