Bilal bhai, Check this précis also and look into the title critically.
Précis (1989)
“THE GREATEST civilization before ours was the Greek. They, too, lived in a dangerous world. They were a little, highly civilized people, surrounded by barbarous tribes and always threatened by the greatest Asian power Persia. In the end they succumbed, but the reason they did was not that the enemies outside were so strong, but that their spiritual strength had given way] While they had it, they kept Greece unconquered. Basic to all Greek achievements was freedom. The Athenians were the only free people in the world. In the great empires of antiquity—Egypt, Babylon, Assyria, Persia—splendid though they were, with riches and immense power, freedom was unknown. The idea of it was born in Greece, and with it Greece was able to prevail against all the manpower and wealth arrayed against her. At Marathon and at Salmis overwhelming numbers of Persians were defeated by small Greek forces. It was proved there that one free man was superior to many submissively obedient subjects of tyrant. And Athens, where freedom was dearest possession, was the leader in those amazing victories. Greece rose to the very height, not because she was beg, she was very small; not because she was rich, she was very poor; not even because she was wonderfully gifted. So doubtless were others in the great empires of the ancient world who have given their way leaving little for us. She rose because there was in the Greeks the greatest spirit that moves in humanity, the spirit that sets men free.” (Word Count: 253)

Precise:
Title: Greek and Liberty
Introduction of Liberty by Greek
Tale of Greek Success

Greek was the strongest civilization in ancient times. Unequivocally, the trouble of Persia was always hovering over them. But, ultimately, they gave up opposing them, not because they were weak, but that they understood the spiritual values. When there was no concept of liberty, it was Greece that introduced it; and this liberty led her towards the success over other excellent powers. Categorically, it was testified that liberty was always better than tyranny; and this was the cardinal reason behind Greek success. (Word Count: 82)

Your first title i-e Greeks and Liberty is relatively more appropriate, this time you have little flunked in precis.. you haven't emphasized their love for liberty in your precis, but this time good job done.....My title would be Love of Greeks for Sovereignty/Liberty

An important part of management is the making of rules. As a means of regulating the functioning of an organization so that most routine matters are resolved without referring each issue to the manager they are an essential contribution to efficiency. The mere presence of carefully considered rules has the double-edged advantage of enabling workers to know how far they can go, what is expected of them and what channels of action to adopt on the one side, and, on the other, of preventing the management from the behaving in a capricious manner. The body of rules fixed by the company for itself acts as its constitution, which is binding both on employees and employer, however, t must be remembered that rules are made for people, not people for rules. If conditions and needs change, rules ought to change with them. Nothing is sadder than the mindless application of rules which are out-date and irrelevant. An organization suffers from mediocrity if it is too rule-bound. People working in will do the minimum possible. It is called working to rule or just doing enough to ensure that rules are not broken. But this really represents the lowest level of the employer/employee relationship and an organization afflicted by this is in an unhappy condition indeed. Another important point in rule-making is to ensure that they are rules which can be followed. Some rules are so absurd that although everyone pays lip-service to them, no one really bothers to follow them. Often the management knows this but can do nothing about it. The danger of this is, if a level of disrespect for one rule is created this might lead to an attitude of disrespect for all rules. One should take it for granted that nobody likes rules, nobody wants to be restricted by the, and, given a chance, riots people will try and break them. Rules which cannot be followed are not only pointless, they are actually damaging to the structure of the organization. (Word Count: 332)


Precis:
Title: Importance of Rules
Rules as key of success
Rules and Management


One of the most crucial elements of management is formulation of reasonable rules. It is of paramount importance in performing day-to-day work. The well-thought-out rules not only keep workers and management on track but also make them efficient and effective. Moreover, rules should be made in such a way that it makes the tasks of workers easy. In addition, rules should be changed if time demands. On the contrary, if the rules are very strict, the organization faces many problems in their management. Furthermore, strict rules are only wanted on the paper and not for the following purpose. Therefore, rules that are very strict only destroy the hierarchy, effectiveness, and efficiency of organization. (Word Count: 113)

Original Précis (1993)

The best aid to give is intellectual aid, a gift of useful knowledge. A gift of knowledge is infinitely preferable to a gift of material things. There are many reasons for this. Nothing becomes truly one’s own except on the basis of some genuine effort or sacrifice. A gift of material goods can be appropriated by the recipient without effort or sacrifice; it therefore rarely becomes his own and is all too frequently and easily treated as a mere windfall. A gift of intellectual goods, a gift of knowledge, is very different matter. Without a genuine effort of appropriation on the part of the recipient there is o gift. To appropriate the gift and to make it one’s own is the same thing, and “neither moth nor rust doth corrupt. The gift of material goods makes people dependent, but the gift of knowledge makes them free. The gift of knowledge also has far more lasting effects and is far more closely relevant to the concept of development. Give a man a fish, as the saying goes, and you are helping him a little bit for a very short time, teach him the act of fishing and he can help himself all his life. Further, if you teach him to make his own fishing net, you have helped him to become not only self-supporting, but also self-reliant and independent, man and businessman.

This then should become the ever-increasing preoccupation of aid-programmes to make men self-reliant and independent by the generous supply of the appropriate intellectual gifts, gifts of relevant knowledge on the methods of self-help. This approach incidentally, has also the advantage of being relatively cheap, of making money go a long way. For 100/- you may be able to equip one man with certain mean of production, but for the same money you may well be able to teach a hundred men to equip themselves. Perhaps a little pump-priming by way of material goods will in some cases, be helpful to speed the process of development. (Word Count: 336)




Précis:
Title: Expertise and its Benefits
Usefulness of Expertise
The Role of Expertise

Expertise versus Material Things

Expertise is very valuable gift to present. It is always superior to the material things, because usually without struggle nobody may have anything valuable. Material things can be stolen, but expertise can only be gotten through reasonable struggle. It remains always young and fresh. On the other hand, Material things make us slave, but expertise makes us independent. No doubt, it is pivotal to the progress and also has a long term benefits. Furthermore, expertise should be provided to the needy people so as to make them independent. There is also need of investments in the dormant organizations so that it can be revived which is of utmost importance to the progress. (Word Count: 112)

Précis: (1997)

Exploration in the Arctic Circle still offers countless opportunities for fresh discoveries, but it is an adventure not to be undertaken lightly. As an occupation it is more lonely and remote than any thing else in the world, and at any moment the traveler must be prepare to encounter hazard and difficulty which call for all his skill and enterprise. Nevertheless, such enterprise will be carried on as long as there are uninvestigated areas to attack the daring and as long as the quest for knowledge inspires mankind.

Investigations have shown that the Arctic Zone is rich in mineral deposits, but even if these deposits were themselves of little value, the economic importance of the Arctic would not be appreciably lessened. For it is generally agreed that weather is make in the north and, as the success or failure of the harvests all over the world is largely determined by the weather, it follows that agriculture and all those industrial commercial activities dependent upon it, must be considerably affected by the accuracy of the daily weather reports. Modern meteorologists regard the conditions prevailing in the Arctic as of first-rate importance in helping them to arrive at accurate results in their forecasts.

Yet, apart from any economic or other practical consideration, there is a strange fascination about this vast unconquered region of stern northern beauty. Those who have once entered the vast polar regions like to speak of their inexpressible beauty, the charm of the yellow sun and dazzling ice-packs, the everlasting snows, and the unmapped land where one never knows what lies ahead: it may be a gigantic glacier, which reflects a beam of sunlight over its frozen expanse, or some wonderful, fantastically shaped cliff, which makes an unfading impression on the memory. It may even be an iceberg, stately and terrifying, moving on its relentless way, for the Arctic is the birth place of the great icebergs which threaten navigation. (Words Count: 321)

The Importance of Artic Circle


There are numerous reasons to visit the Arctic Circle. But going there is also tantamount to put one’s life in danger. However, People still visit the region because of their appetite for knowledge and the exploration of untapped minerals. Although these minerals are not so much expensive but the economic value of the region can not be overlooked in any way. Meteorologists are of the opinion that Arctic Circle is of utmost importance for the purpose of weather forecasting, which is, ultimately, very helpful in agricultural, industrial, and commercial activities. In addition, the striking beauty of the region is another factor which makes the people visits the Artic Circle. (Word Count: 109)

Precis (2002)
'The official name of our species is homo sapiens; but there are many anthropologists who prefer to think of man as homo Fabar--- smith, the maker of tools It would be possible. I think, to reconcile these two definitions in a third. If man is a knower and an efficient doer, it is only because he is also a talker In order to be Faber and Sapiens, Homo must first be loquax, the loquacious one. Without language we should merely be hairless chimpanzees. Indeed we should be some thing much worse. Possessed of a high IQ but no language, we should be like the Yahoos of Gulliver's Travels- Creatures too clever to be guided by instinct, too Self-centered to live in a state of animal grace, and therefore condemned forever, frustrated and malignant, between contented ape hood and aspiring’ humanity. It was language that made possible the accumulation of knowledge and the broadcasting of information. It was language that permitted the expression of religious insight, the formulation of ethical ideals, the codification to laws, It was language, in a word, that turned us into human beings and gave birth to civilization.
(Word Count: 191)

Language and men’s progress
Importance of Communication Skills
The secret of Human’s Success
Human’s success and Communication Skills

Scores of anthropologists are of the opinion that man has been able to progress only because he was able to communicate. Although many animals are very intelligent but they can not progress, because they can not communicate. Language was the only factor which differentiated men from other creatures. Thus, through this weapon of language we have been able to develop the knowledge, thoughts, ethics, and religion. (Word Count: 66)
