A tribute to India’s missile man

India’s missile man is no more. Dr.Abdul Kalam died while doing what he loved the most – Teaching. He passed away on the 27th of July while delivering a lecture to students at IIM Shillong.

He is truly an inspiration to every Indian. He was born in Rameswaram in a poor fishing family and rose to become a scientist and the President of India only through sheer determination, hard work and passion. He was known as the people’s president and he always enjoyed being around students.

As a tribute to the great man, we have compiled a few of his quotes which are a manifestation of his indomitable spirit and sterling personality. The first three are my personal favourites .

“If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother and the teacher.”

“ Educationists should build the capacities of the spirit of inquiry, creativity, entrepreneurial and moral leadership among students and become their role model.”

“While children are struggling to be unique, the world around them is trying all means to make them look like everybody else.”

“You have to dream before your dreams come true.”

“Great dreams of great dreamers are always transcended.”

“To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goal.”

“Man needs his difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy success.”

“We should not give up and we should not allow the problem to defeat us.”

“We will be remembered only if we give to our younger generation a prosperous and safe India, resulting out of economic prosperity coupled with civilizational heritage.”

“Don’t take rest after your first victory because if you fail in second, more lips are waiting to say that your first victory was just luck.”

“All Birds find shelter during a rain. But Eagle avoids rain by flying above the Clouds.” – A.P.J Abdul Kalam
“Failure will never overtake me if my definition to succeed is strong enough”.

“Man needs difficulties in life because they are necessary to enjoy the success.”

“If you want to shine like a sun. First burn like a sun.”

“It is very easy to defeat someone, but it is very hard to win someone”

“All of us do not have equal talent. But , all of us have an equal opportunity to develop our talents.”

” Be more dedicated to making solid achievements than in running after swift but synthetic happiness.”

“Thinking should become your capital asset, no matter whatever ups and downs you come across in your life.”

” Without your involvement you can’t succeed. With your involvement you can’t fail. ”

“My message, especially to young people is to have courage to think differently, courage to invent, to travel the unexplored path, courage to discover the impossible and to conquer the problems and succeed. These are great qualities that they must work towards. This is my message to the young people.”
