What needs to be set right is our approach to work. It is a common sight in our country of employees reporting
for duty on time and at the same time doing little work. If an assessment is made of time they spent in
gossiping, drinking tea, eating "pan" and smoking cigarettes, it will be shocking to know that the time devoted
to actual work is negligible. The problem is the standard which the leadership in administration sets for the

staff. Forgot the ministers because they mix politics and administration. What do top bureaucrats do? What do
the below down officials do? The administration set up remains week mainly because the employees do not

doing work.

COMPREHENSION 3

The strength of the electronics industry in Japan is the Japanese ability to organise production and
marketing rather than their achievements in original research. The British are generally recognised as a far
more inventive collection of individuals, but never seem able to exploit what they invent. There are many
examples, from the TSR Z hovercraft, high speed train and Sinclair scooter to the Triumph, BSA and
Norton Motorcycle which all prove this sad rule. The Japanese were able to exploits their strengths in
marketing and development many years ago, and their success was at first either not understood in the West
or was dismissed as something which could have been produced only at their low price. They were sold
because they were cheap copies of other people's ideas churned out of a workhouse which was dedicated to
hard grind above all else.

original research A
