Adversity can be defined as misery, affliction, tragedy, hardship, difficulty and any unfavorable or critical situation of life. Adversity by nature is a great teacher. He who faces it enhances real experience of life and gets its zesty taste. There is mystery in misery which hides real lessons behind its thick curtains. A ship of life which sails smoothly in hardships, reaches the shore of success. He gets rubies who dives into depth of sea. Indeed, one who is difficult for difficulties gets its unlimited uses and everlasting lessons.

Thomas Edison was a newspaper seller and he was afraid of dark. He wanted to invent a bulb for his night phobia and for world. He tried almost one thousand times to invent a light bulb but remained unsuccessful. He did not give up and surrender; his all tries were unsuccessful except one. Each try gave him strength and eager unto success. His labor bore fruit; his struggle made him succeed and took him towards peaks of victories. When he was asked about his failures, he replied: "I didn't fail 1,000 times. I found 1,000 ways how not to create a light bulb." Indeed, Thomas Edison got sweet uses of adversity and success.

Undoubtedly, difficulties teach us the things which none can teach in this world. They make us aware, experienced, passionate, strong and humanitarian. Life is a process of learning and one learns a lot from hardships. Difficulty is the basic and fundamental part of experience. One should take and face difficulty as a black cloud of rain, which rains extremely but fertilizes all barren grounds.

These empty vessels are inferiority complex concious people and just want to avail the attention of masses. Interview is the common example where intelligent and wise candidates just remain stick to the answer of question and deliver comprehensive and to the point answers of the questions but some candidates having little knowledge consider themselves smart enough and think they can dodge the veteran and qualified interviewers by beating the bush. Same is the case with politicians. Seasoned and experianced politicians convey their point of view after evaluating the pros and cons of the matter , furnish their views or stance with logic and stand firmly on their stance. In contrast to them, ignorant politicians present their point of view without any research and don't support their stance with logic. They also don't leave any stone unturned to prove their illogic point of view right/correct.

Humility is hallmark of great men. A knowlegable person always remains concious of masses' expectations and knows very well what he does not know. (Try not to use short form like don't in place of do not in formal English writing especially in exams) On the other hand, empty vessels never try to read between the lines and always remain oblivian of what they do not know. They forget the reality that knowlege is ocean and nobody can drink its whole water.

A critical situation isn't necessarily an adverse one.


Enhances real experience of life? That doesn't make any sense in the context.
Also, no 'he' before gets. It is implied because of the preceding subordinate clause.


No comma.

By the way, don't take the '1001' literally. I think what Edison meant was he worked hard and eventually it all paid. The '1001' number is a hyperbole

One more thing and I don't know whether this applies to CSS or not, but in writing, it is poor practice to write gender specific pronouns when meaning both genders. Like you used 'he' 9 times, when you could have used 'one'. You should confirm this from a CSP or some CSS teacher.

Birds get frozen, flowers get withered, from a pebble of earth to the star of sky all get silenced. It is the time when winter jumps in. Torments, tensions, tragedies, tortures come up when west wind of winter blows.

However, when spring comes it brings gala days; birds fly up, and flowers get bloomed.

Winter snatches green leaves of trees, smashes colours of butterflies, slaughter blooming flowers.

Man is mortal. He is to die sooner or later.

In above sentence, we have used the pronoun 'He' for the noun 'man' which is referring to human beings of both genders including every man and woman.
