NCERT Solutions for Class 4th English Chapter 4 One Thing at a Time

About this chapter

Stanza 1 — one thing at a time. “Work while you work, / Play while you play; / To be useful and happy, / That is the way.” Do not mix the two. That is how you become useful and happy. Stanza 2 — do it fully. “All that you do, / Do with all your might; / Things done by halves, / Are never done right.” A half-finished job is never a good job. Put your full strength into it. Stanza 3 — the good rule. “One thing at a time, / And that done well; / Is a very good rule, / As many can tell.” Many people have tried this rule and found that it works. Stanza 4 — do not waste time. “Moments should never, / Be trifled away; / So, work while you work, / And play while you play.” Small bits of time should not be thrown away.
