Every other book I read of APJ Abdul Kalam is full of
inspiration. His life keeps on inspiring the students across India. These following pearls of wisdom are taken from
various books written by APJ Abdul Kalam. Get Inspired! Dream big! Strive to
achieve it!!
- Adversity always presents opportunities for introspection- (Turning Points)
- There is a divine power that takes over us, that gently lifts us from sadness, failures and miseries. If we open our mind and let it, it will guide us to our true place. Release yourself from the building that limit you and let that power overtake your mind, and that’s when you will be on the road to the true happiness and peace.- Jainulabdeen Kalam
- Science is an open ended and exploratory, that it sets out to find answer like traveler goes on voyage. It is, in fact a voyage into all that is possible. Science is a joy passion.
- Development on the other hand is a closed loop. It takes work done by scientists and move it a step further. It does not allow for mistake and exploration. In fact, it uses mistakes for making modifications and up gradation.
- Total commitment is not just hard work, it is total involvement. It is also about setting goal. It is having a goal in front of you that make difference to the final outcome of your hard work.
- True quality in teaching does not come from a great building or great facilities or great advertisement. It happens when education is imparted with love by great teachers.
- Unless one has tasted bitter pill of failure, one cannot aspire enough for success.
- Accept your destiny and go ahead with your life, you are not destined to become air pilot what you desired to become is not revealed now but it is predetermined. Forget this failure, as it was essential to lead you to your destined path. Search instead, for true purpose of your existence
- Think of rising higher; let it be your thoughts. Even if your object be not attained, the thought itself will have raised you.
- See the flower, how generously it distributes perfume and honey. When its work is done, it falls away quietly. Try to be like flower, unassuming despite all its quality
- I have understood now that after the feelings of disappointment subsides and one gains perspective, these experiences can change way of thinking, they also deeply impact our souls, I believe, and bring us face to face with existential issues. When that happens, we need to embrace the events and analyse how we responded, did we allow them merely roll over us like wave, or did we dive deeper into the matter and use it to gain insight into ourselves.
- Needless to say, it is usually events of great magnitude that shifts something within us at fundamental level. When we are unable to live upto the high standards and expectation of those we value most , or get involved in matters that impact the lives of millions or when it is a matter of life and death these are the times when our senses of self and our ego witness deep change.
- Life has taught me the best way to win is not to covet the win too much, instead to keep calm and open minds to new challenges.
- For this post last one by Mark Twain: Man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can’t read them
