84th birth anniversary of former President & eminent scientist APJ Abdul
Kalam, also known as the India’s ‘Missile Man’.

vehicle (SLV) and missile programme.
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.”
