10 life lessons we learned from Dr APJ Abdul KalamJuly 27, 2015, 9:07 PM IST Team TOI in The Photo Blog | India | TOI
Former President & eminent scientist Dr APJ Abdul Kalam passed away in Shillong on Monday. Kalam collapsed during a speech
at IIM Shillong and was immediately rushed to the nearby Bethany Hospital.
Here are some of Kalam’s inspirational sayings through which he will be remembered forever…
“You have to dream before your dreams can come true.”
“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.”
“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.”

“To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goal.”
“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.”
“Great dreams of great dreamers are always transcended.”

“Let us sacrifice our today so that our children can have a better tomorrow.”
“Man needs his difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy success.”
“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.”

no leader of his stature this country can produce in future. the real son of this country
who brought glory to this nation in the world. his life is an open book and so called
great leaders from pre-independence to till datea re no match to his character,
sincerity, pious and noble thooghts. his life will be a lesson to all the children of this
country to emulate and try to come to near to his stature. he proved that your qualities
only will make you great and castes and releigions are man made. may his soul rests
in peace with an assurance from the youth to emulate his legacy and to become many
a apj abdul kalams to this country and to make this country a great country among the
world in inventions in sciences.
