Step into the world of a true visionary, a man whose legacy continues to inspire and ignite hope in the hearts of millions. On his birth anniversary, we honour the legacy of Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam, the 11th President of India and an extraordinary leader whose contributions continue to inspire generations.
Born in 1931 in Tamil Nadu, India, Dr. Kalam's journey was one of brilliance and determination. With a background in physics and aerospace engineering, he went on to become a pivotal figure in India’s space and defense programs. As a scientist at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), he played a crucial role in the development of India's first indigenous satellite launch vehicle and the country's ballistic missile development program. In recognition of his contributions, he was awarded the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honor, in 1997.
After his remarkable career at ISRO, Dr. Kalam served as the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India from 1999 to 2001. In 2002, he was elected as the 11th President of India. Throughout his five-year term, he made significant contributions to science, technology, and education, all while advocating for peace and human rights on the global stage.
Dr. Kalam's legacy is not only marked by his scientific achievements but also by his deep wisdom and inspiring words. His motivational quotes continue to resonate with millions:
1. A dream is not that which you see while sleeping, it is something that does not let you sleep.
2. To succeed in your mission, you must have a single-minded devotion to your goal.
3. Don’t take rest after your first victory because if you fail in the second, more lips are waiting to say that your first victory was just luck.
4. If you fail, never give up because FAIL means ‘First Attempt In Learning.’
5. Beauty isn’t dependent on our external appearance. It radiates from within.
6. Winners are not those who never fail but those who never quit.
Dr. Kalam passed away in 2015 after suffering a cardiac arrest, leaving behind a legacy of knowledge, inspiration, and humility. He remains a beloved figure in India and around the world for his tireless work, enduring wisdom, and relentless dedication to the advancement of humanity.
