Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Stone-like = stoic: पत्थर जैसा। पत्थर पर सुख-दुख का कोई फ़र्क़ नहीं पड़ता। जो दर्द और ख़ुशी दोनों में एक-सा रहे = stoic। Apathetic से अलग समझिए।

Think ‘STOne-like’ = STOIC. A stone feels no joy and no pain, whatever happens around it. A person who stays calm and unmoved by pain and pleasure is a stoic.

Exam note

बहुत बार पूछा गया one word: सुख-दुख से अप्रभावित व्यक्ति। Apathetic (रुचि न होना) से confuse मत कीजिए; equanimity related quality है, emotional और fervent उल्टे।

One of the most frequently asked one words: a person indifferent to pain and pleasure. Do not confuse it with apathetic (lacking interest); equanimity is the related quality, and emotional or fervent are opposites.
