Your friend was not able to perform well for the examination due to his/her lack of focus. Write a letter to him or her to explain the importance of dedication to any work we do

Answer and Explanation:

Dear...,

I'm sorry to hear you were not able to perform well for the examination. I can only imagine the way you feel at this moment. I hope you'll soon regain your confidence and excitement. We know you are smart and capable, so there is no reason to let this hurdle bring you down.

You know I have also struggled all my life with anxiety and lack of focus. You were there when I failed exams or missed important appointments due to those issues. I would be worried about the future, or thinking about anything else, instead of truly being present, of simply paying attention. That cost me a lot, as you know.

That is why I feel I must recommend something to you - something that has been helping me a lot. I've told about some of the philosophies I've studying lately. One thing they all seem to have in common is the insistence on living in the present. When we lack focus, when we do not listen properly, when we do things on autopilot, we are missing the present moment. We are either reliving the past or anticipating the future, both of which are not a reality right now.

I believe you would benefit greatly from a few practices. Mindfulness meditation, for instance, can teach you how to focus. It can help you tune out that noise in your head that takes your attention away from what is truly happening at the moment. If you'd like, I can help you get started.

(Friend's name), we only live in the moment. Whatever it is that we are doing deserves our full, undivided attention. If you choose to focus, there is nothing you can't achieve. And I can guarantee life will seem to flow more easily.

Sincerely,

...

n arraignment is not a hearing to determine guilt or innocence. it is usually a criminal defendant's first appearance in court 

with mrs. linde, nora reveals her insensitivity and lack of shame about the forgery she committed. she implies that mrs. linde has obviously aged since they last met 10 years earlier, which accounts for nora’s inability to recognize her old friend. although nora seems sympathetic to mrs. linde’s plight, she can’t seem to control herself from boasting about her three children, her husband’s recent promotion, and how good she feels to finally have some money to spend. in a way, she seems to be flaunting her good fortune in front of mrs. linde who, deprived of all these benefits, has come to ask nora for . it is also through her interactions with mrs. linde that we realize something deeper lies under nora’s seemingly childish exterior. she reveals the secret of her forgery to mrs. linde and seems to see herself as quite resourceful for having done it.

in the company of dr. rank, nora is freer than she is with her own husband. she openly laughs with joy at knowing that all the other bank employees will be under her husband’s control. she offers dr. rank a macaroon, apparently forgetting that he knows she is forbidden to eat them. she then quickly covers for herself by claiming that mrs. linde brought them. nora seems much more assertive and free with these other characters, as well as unabashedly willing to scheme, lie, and justify her transgressions as altruistic.  

krogstad provides an interesting parallel to nora. like nora, he too is guilty of committing forgery, for which torvald condemns him and decides to fire him. although krogstad is a man and nora a woman, their crimes of forgery unite them. in fact, krogstad might represent what nora would be like if she were a man and were not strictly scrupulous like her husband is. for example, she tells mrs. linde that "a barrister's profession is such an uncertain thing, especially if he won't undertake unsavoury cases; and naturally torvald has never been willing to do that." perhaps nora would have delved into the unsavory, given how opposite she is to her husband. krogstad's is also the only harsh voice of reality that nora is forced to hear, and that is because he blackmails her for her regaining his job at the bank. finally, torvald’s reaction to krogstad’s forgery seems to foreshadow his harsh and cold reaction to nora’s forgery.
