“Dream is not that which you see while sleeping it is something that does not let you sleep.”
Our country has faced a loss of a noble soul, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. We are currently in mourning. It is really wonderful to know that one person impacted lives of so many.
A leader must have a ‘Vision’ – for an organisation, ‘Passion’ – to work for achieving the goals, ‘Curiosity’ to travel an unexplored path, and ‘Courage’ to take decisions, in order to succeed, along with demonstrating the transparent actions & nobility in management.He was an epitome of how an ideal leader should be. He has inspired us in many ways. He gave us some simple guidelines to abide by. In corporate world we are so involved with our jobs and in love with our careers that we forget how to create work-life-balance. He advised us to leave work on time, otherwise you will be deemed incompetent.
One thing unseemly, Mulayam Singh Yadav did was propose his name and make him the First citizen of this country. Of all things we like about politicians this was the best thing they did to their country. Making Dr. APJ aka Kalam the president of the country.
This man is really a superhuman being. We are just out of the euphoria of having had him at our city for a full day. Literally, the president spent his full day talking to all the cross sections of the society and most importantly the children – on whom he has great faith that they will make the country the superpower he intends it to be.
He launches a Village resource centre under the auspices of the Amrita Deemed University, and a joint venture with ISRO of his yesteryears. He makes an impact with students out there and makes them pledge they will work and they will dream. He said for preparing the future generations for a knowledge based society, that lies ahead of them educational institutions should focus on capacity building, with a view to equip students with creativity and innovative skills, which would be relevant to the society.
He outlined “soil to seed; seed to grain; grain to food and food to marketing” also stressing integrated development of agriculture.
God, our Creator, has stored within our minds and personalities, great potential strength and ability. Prayer helps us tap and develop these powers.
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.
Unless India stands up to the world, no one will respect us. In this world, fear has no place. Only strength respects strength.
