Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war？ War is an ancient institution， which has existed

for at least six thousand years. It was always bad and usually foolish， but in the past human race managed to

live with it. For the present， it is atomic bombs that cause the most serious danger， but bacteriological or

chemical weapons may， before long， offer an even greater seems taht we will never succeed in

getting rid of war. To do this， we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new

way， not as competitions of des must be changed so that victories aren’t achieved by the side

which is most skillful in killing people， but according to agreed principles of law. It is not easy to change very

old mental habits， but this is what must be attempted.

Nuclear war must be avoid. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world， but the spirit in which

they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought， even by

the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die， that negotiations should reach agreements even if

both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important

conflict nowadays can be solved though talks.

Self-confidence gives us hope. It is a servant who gives its master light when he is in the dark. And it is

encouragement when a person is discouraged. A person is a fool if he thinks that he is unable to carry out a

difficult task while others do not find it difficult. It is neither genius nor extraordinary ability that gives us the

power to deal with and overcome whatever hardship we meet. In truth it is the magic of self-trust that

encourages us with bravery.

Some people find most things impossible because they do not trust their own ability. Actually, they have

the ability to make themselves successful, but it is a pity that they do not believe in themselves. People of this

kind are more foolish than those who actually can not fulfill the work. This is on account of their ignorance.

People who can’t do a job are pardonable, but those who do not believe in themselves deserve no excuse.

In short, success will not come to the door of a person who thinks he is not worthy enough to accept it. On the

contrary , failure would be his life companion. This is why a person ought to believe in himself.

Employment became widespread when the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries began. It made

many people dependent on paid jobs by depriving them of the use of the land, and thus of the means to

provide a living for themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed work

from people's homes. Later, as transport improved, first by rail then by road, people commuted longer

distances to their places of employment .Eventually, many people's work lost all connection with their home

lives and the places in which they lived.

Meanwhile, employment put women at a disadvantage as men and women had shared the productive

work of the household and village community .Now,it becomes customary for the husband to go out to paid
