In one of his speeches Kalam told the three step guide to achieve goals in life, they are: Finding an aim before you are twenty years old Acquire knowledge continuously to achieve this goal Work hard so you can defeat all the problems and succeed. He gave many precious speeches and lectures at different places to educate people.

He believed that, if you work hard, you will definitely get a good result. He was a great inspiration to me as he encouraged everyone to work hard and not think about the result. He told that, “The dreams are not those which you see when you sleep but are those which never let you sleep.” Undoubtedly, these are golden words of wisdom. His way of dreaming was really different. He dreamt of making India one of the super-nations in the world. He was a man of dreams and creative ideas. He became the second scientist after Sir C V Raman to receive this award. Kalam was awarded Padma Bhushan in 1981 and Padma Vibhushan in 1990 and Among his several awards were the country’s highest honour, the Bharat Ratna (1997). He soon joined the Indian Space Research Organisation(ISRO). He got a degree in aeronautical engineering from the Madras Institute of Technology (MIT) and joined the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). There was a time when his sister sold her jewellery to pay his college fees.

He faced many difficulties and failures on his way to success. He also had a hobby of reading and writing books. In his school days, he had poor grades but was a bright and hardworking student who had a strong desire to learn.

To help his father in managing family expenses, Kalam started selling newspapers at an early age. His father’s name was Jainulabdeen, who was a boat man. His birth day is observed as World Students’ Day. Now Let us know a little more about his early life.Ībdul Kalam, whose real name was Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam was born on October 15, 1931 to a Tamil Muslim family in Rameswaram. He is one of the great persons in India who has plenty of admirers. I was inspired by him because he proved that with determination and hard work anything can be achieved.
