What does the notice 'The world's most dangerous animal' at a cage in the zoo at Lusaka, Zambia, signify?

टिप्पणी लिखिए

उत्तर

In the zoo at Lusaka, there is a cage with a notice that reads ‘The world’s most dangerous animal’. However, inside the cage, there is no animal but a mirror which shows the visitor's/person's reflection.

The notice signifies that man is the most dangerous being on this planet. He is not only responsible for the deteriorating condition of the planet and depletion of resources but also poses a danger for other living-species. A human being is far more destructive and threatening to the ecology of the Earth than any other being. Thus, the cage in a zoo in Lusaka, Zambia, only tries to open our eyes to the aforementioned fact.

It is widely believed that people do their best work when they are promised rewards for their achievements. Our schools and workplaces operate on the assumption that good work occurs when people are competing for grades, money, or recognition from others. In truth, the prospect of rewards provided by others can inhibit and limit people’s drive and creativity. People do their best work when motivated from within by their enjoyment of a particular challenge and their satisfaction in doing something well.

What do you think motivates people to do their best? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observation.
