Read the following passage and answer the question that follows.There is a subtle difference between enduring continuance, which in other words is persistence, and firmly adhering to one’s chosen course of action which is called obstinacy. Something of note here is the difference between the attitudes of scientists around the world. While some of them persistently work on some projects; others give them up at some stage or the other. A notable example here is Fleming. Fleming started doing work on penicillin in the late 20s. He tried his best to purify it but failed in his efforts. He wrote in 1932 that he discontinued working on penicillin and gave his reasons as well. He said that it would never be useful and found it to be very unstable. Later on, in 1941 Florey and Chaine started their efforts to purify penicillin. And because of their persistent efforts, they discovered a process to purify it. Both of them along with Fleming were awarded the Nobel Prize.The stumbling blocks for me were in the beginning when we put forward the idea that tumours need to have their own blood supply. The only response that we got was of hostility and jeering disbelief. When we persistently kept on talking about it, other’s response was that this will be a meaningless exercise. ”There will be no molecules”. When we finally proved in 1983 (starting in the late 60s) that these were actually molecules, they gave another observation,” you’ll never prove that that’s what tumours use.” The most cynical group insisted that this discovery might be true on mice but it did not hold true on people. But my response has always been that I would not give up my efforts and I cannot stop if somebody else wanted me to stop. I even made the offer if they would give their observations under signature. If they agreed to do so, it would save huge money of the public and the government and we would stop doing the experiments. But nobody agreed to do so.So, my final observation is that whatever field you have chosen in life, the success will come to you only by way of dogged determination. A pessimistic would say, "Ok, if they became successful, they were lucky enough.” But I differ with it. Luck is when preparation meets opportunity. If you want to be successful, you can become so only with persistence and determination. The only thing is that do not give up making efforts. Keep on pursuing whatever you are after against all odds.Q.The passage is
