Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions. Your answer to these questions should be based on passage only.
It is not luck but labor that makes a man. Luck says an American writer, is every waiting for something to turn up; labor with keen eyes and strong will always turns up something . Luck lies in bed and wishes the postman would bring him news of a legacy; labor turns out at six and with busy pen and ringing hammer lays the foundation of competence. Luck whines, labor watches. Luck relies on chance, labor on character. Luck slips downwards to self-indulgence; labor strides upwards and aspires to independence. The conviction, therefore,
is extending that diligence is the mother of good luck. In other words, that a man's success in life will be proportionate to his efforts, to his industry, to his attention to small things.
