Today is the 84th birth anniversary of former President & eminent scientist APJ Abdul Kalam, also known as the ‘Missile Man’ and 'President of the common people'.
Kalam died on July 27, 2015 after he was hospitalized in a very critical condition at a private hospital in Shillong.
He was a renowned scientist and is considered to be the main brain behind India’s space launch vehicle (SLV) and missile programme.
Here are some of Kalam’s inspirational sayings through which he will be remembered forever.
1. “You have to dream before your dreams can come true.”
2. “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.”
3.“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.”
4. “To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goal.”
5. “Let me define a leader. He must have vision and passion and not be afraid of any problem. Instead, he should know how to defeat it. Most importantly, he must work with integrity.”
6. “Great dreams of great dreamers are always transcended.”
7. “Let us sacrifice our today so that our children can have a better tomorrow.”
8. “Man needs his difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy success.”
9. “Look at the sky. We are not alone. The whole universe is friendly to us and conspires only to give the best to those who dream and work.”
10. “You see, God helps only people who work hard. That principle is very clear.”
