Prcis Writing 1 Among the manifold misfortunes that may befall humanity the loss of health is one of the severest. All the joys which life can give cannot outweigh the sufferings of the sick. Give the sick man everything and leave him his suffering and he will feel that half the world is lost to him. Lay him on a soft silken couch, he will nevertheless groan sleepless under the pressure of the sufferings, while the miserable beggar blessed with health sleeps sweetly on the hard ground. Spread his tables with dainty meats and choice drinks, and he will trust back the hand that prefers them and envy the poor man who thoroughly enjoys his dry crust. Surround him with pomp of kings; let his chair be a throne, and his crutch a world-swaying sceptre; he will look with contemptuous eye on marble, on gold, and on purple, and would deem himself happy, could he enjoy, even were it under a thatched roof, the health of the meanest of his servants. Precis Title: Blessings of Health The loss of health is the greatest misfortune that a man can suffer from. No pleasure of the world can sooth and comfort a sick man. A sick man passes unhappy days and sleepless nights. Everything, howsoever sweet and pleasant it may be, appears to him insipid and tasteless. Instead of having the kingdom of the whole earth with his sick health he would prefer the humble lot of a poor but healthy beggar. So great are the blessings of health that all the riches of the world pale into insignificance before them.

Prcis Writing 2 Unemployment arises from a variety of causes. One that is always recurring, and of the effects of which we have had a recent example, is the disorganization of industry resulting from a long war: this is a serious problem admitting of no easy solution at the best of times. Again, there is the unemployment, which follows a marked diminution in the quantity of any raw product. Such as cotton: fewer hands are required in the mills and factories. We may call this cause bad harvest. Similar but more serious is the effect of changes in industry due to the invention of machinery which does more work and requires fewer workers. And yet another serious cause is a strike or lock-out and this is the more to be deplored because such a stoppage sometimes is due to a very trivial matter, perhaps the fact that men are working half an hour longer than the regulations of their union permit. Precis Title: The Causes of unemployment The causes of unemployment are several. First, there is the disorganisation of industry by a long war. Another is a fall in the quantity of raw materials. A more serious cause is the invention of labour saving machines. Another equally important cause is a strike or lock-out due to some very trivial reasons.

Prcis Writing 3 Neglect of small things is the rock on which the great majority of the human race have split. Human life consists of a succession of small events each of which is comparatively unimportant and yet in which these small events are dealt with. Character is built upon little things well and honourably transacted. The success of a man in business depends upon his attention to little things. The comfort of a household is the result of small things well-arranged and duly provided for. Good government can only be accomplished in the same way-by wellregulated provision for the doing of little things. Precis Title: Importance of Small Things Neglect of small things is the cause of a great many failure. Success in life depends of handling small events properly; character is formed by doing little things honourably and smoothly; business, domestic happiness and even good government are possible only by paying proper attention to small things.
