Dr APJ Abdul Kalam is widely known as the "People's President" because of his humble and caring nature.
Dr Kalam grew up in a small town called Rameswaram with a very simple family. Even from humble beginnings, he worked hard, became a super scientist who helped India do amazing things in space and defense. His pioneering work in developing India's missile and space programs, including the iconic Agni and Prithvi missiles, earned him the legendary title "Missile Man of India."
He was the pioneer of India's nuclear tests in 1998, which showed the world our scientific strength.
Dr Kalam was the President of India from 2002 to 2007. He remained humble and was always eager to connect with children and inspire young minds.
Dr Kalam wrote many popular books including 'Wings of Fire' and 'Ignited Minds', which continue to motivate millions of people. His famous quote, "Dream, dream, dream. Dreams transform into thoughts and thoughts result in action," is a guiding light for many young Indians.
Dr Kalam passed away doing what he loved the most, motivating children, on 27 July 2015 due to a cardiac arrest at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) in Shillong while addressing the students. He was rushed to the hospital but.... He was 83.
Kalam's life teaches us that hard work, honesty, and focus on big goals, anyone can achieve great effects and be a loyalist. You can not change your future, but you can change your habits, and surely your habits will change your future.
