Yesterday, I had an opportunity to see my role model Dr A.P.J Abdul Kalam,former President of India. He was present in the KIIT campus to inaugurate the Children's Science Congress. It was an honour to see him and to be addressed by him . I was eagerly waiting for him to address the gathering and when he did so I paid every single bit of attention to him. He told us that to achieve something, to have our names attached to the list of great people we must work hard and dream to fly. He asked us to repeat after him these lines:
"I'm born with potential
I'm born with greatness
I'm born with wings
So I'm not meant for crawling
I'll fly,I'll fly,I'll fly"
He said that to be a scientist our greatest friends must be great books,great scientists and great teachers. He told us that to improve the quality of thinking we must challenge our mind. He told us that when we perform any scientific research or experiment we surely face some problems. But we must not let the problem become our captain but become the captain of the problem. He told us that we must be confident.
The effect of this whole experience is still there. Indeed 4th January,2012 was a great day and the new year brought me a great gift. I cannot explain how great it was to be a part of a gathering which was being addressed by him. And at the end when he left in his car,he waved at us and we got to see him closely. Dr A.P.J Abdul Kalam is a great source of inspiration and I feel honoured to have been able to see him and been addressed by him!
