 HANDWRITING (5)
Write the given passage neatly in cursive writing.
There is no time like the present. It has been a proven fact that the wastage of
time - how little it may be - leads to destruction and ruin. On the other hand, a
proper and systematic utilization of it will surely be a stepping stone to success.
Many people are well aware of the meaning and significance of life, but fail to
avail it to the maximum. The famous writer Dale Carnegie has rightly said,
"Yesterday is a dream and tomorrow is a vision. But today well-lived makes every
yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope."
