The important thing in life is not what you have been but what you are reaching for and becoming. At my age, when I can see the end of the road more clearly than most, I can sit back and recollect in tranquility the varying vicissitudes of my life and what it has taught me. When I look back, I find that the great and glorious hours of my life were those when I gave a helping hand to others without expecting anything in return and not when I struggled and succeeded to gain my own ends. And I can well imagine and appreciate that in this world those alone live who live for others. I have no regrets for the past. Life has been kind to me. My only regret is that I received more from life than I gave.

The strongest haunts of life are in the deep sea, by which-is meant the floor of the deepest part of the ocean and the layers of dark water near the floor. Life is found six miles below the surface, where the water pressure is enormous more than 6000 pounds to the square inch. It is very could there always about zero. It is also absolutely dark except for the fitful gleams of me fishes which, like fireflies, give out light of their own. It is too deep and dark for any plants to grow, because plants to grow, because plants need light, but no depth it seems, is too great for animal life.
As there are no plants at this depth the animals must feed upon one another. The struggle to live is keen. The stomachs of some of the fishes stretch amazingly, So they may swallow objects larger than themselves. When a whale or a tortoise meets death in the ocean and sinks to the bottom there is a great feasting by millions of living things till the monster is devoured.
The sea swarms with strange and curious animals prowling about in the dark. some with long feelers and some with long limbs like stills. Then there are the cutlet fishes and true fishes stealing along. Certain kinds here are blind. They depend upon great feelers to get about and capture food.
In the blackness of the deep sea, many animals produce their own lights. This light may attract other fishes wanted for food. But some deep-sea fishes have very large eyes so as to see in the clear light that they themselves make, some of these animals have been brought up by dredgers at night, and it is said that on these occasions 'they gave off flashes of light, beside which the twenty torches used for working light were pale. Some of these animals were carried into the laboratory where the lights were turned out. These creatures threw out brilliant jets of fire which changed from red to orange, others shed green lights.

Every child is born, with some inherited characteristics, into a specific sociology-economic and emotional environment, and authority. I inherited honesty and self-discipline from my father: from my mother, I inherited faith in goodness and deep kindness and so did my three brothers and sister. But it was the time I spent with Jallaluddin and Samsuddin that perhaps contributed most to the uniqueness of my childhood and made all the difference in my later life. The unschooled wisdom of Jallaluddin and Samsuddin was so intuitive and responsive to non-verbal messages, that I can unhesitatingly attribute my subsequently manifested creativity to their company in my childhood.
I had three close friends in my childhood – Ramanadha Sastry, Aravindan and Sivaprakasan. All these boys were from orthodox Hindu Brahman families. As children, none of us ever felt any difference among ourselves because of our religious differences and upbringing. In fact, Ramanadha Sastry was the son of Pakshi Lakshmana Sastry, the high priest of the Rameswaram temple. Later, he took over the priesthood of the Aravindan went into the business of arranging transport for visiting pilgrims; and Sivaprakasan became a catering contractor for the Southern Railways.
What qualities did the speaker inherit from his mother?
Honesty and faith in goodness
Honesty and deep kindness
