Motivational Speech On APJ Abdul Kalam

Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam was indeed one of the most humble,
intelligent, wise, selfless, loving, and lovable leaders ever born. He was
born on 15 October 1931 in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu. He was the 11th
President of India and served the country for one term. Not only this, but
he also is one of the most famous scientists who have worked with highly
famous organizations like DRDO (Defense Research and Development
Organization) and ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) in his
career.
He was a true gem and a person with no haters. But let us first
know a little more about him. His full name was Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen
Abdul Kalam. He was born in a middle-class Muslim family. Since the
beginning of his days, he was a very hardworking and diligent person. In
his early childhood, he helped his family to earn livelihood along with the
studies. Being very intelligent and promising, he started his career and life
soon.
 He saw a lot of hardships on his way to success. There was a time
when his sister sold her jewelry to pay his college fees. After completing his
graduation, he joined the defense department to serve the nation. And
from there the journey of the famous scientist started to a never-ending
tale of success. He was one of the various scientists in India who worked
for the development of nuclear power. For his work, he also earned various
awards and prizes.

Dr. Kalam was one of the most important figures in the testing of
the Pokhran-II in the year 1988. Politics never attracted Dr. Kalam. But in
the year 2002, Indian National Democratic Alliance requested him to
nominate him for the post of the President. Thinking of the nation and
keen eagerness to work for the country, made him say yes. With the
support of the Indian National Democratic Alliance, he won the elections
and was selected as the President of India.

He was a man of dreams and ideas. He dreamt of making India

one of the super-powers in the world. His idea of dreaming was really
different. He emphasized that the dreams are not those which you see
when you sleep but are those which never let you sleep. Undoubtedly,
these are the precious words of wisdom. He always encouraged everyone
to work hard and not think about the result. He believed, if you work hard,
you will definitely get the result as well.

Some countless efforts and contributions are made by Dr. Kalam

for the sake of the nation. He was awarded by Bharat Ratna in the year
1997. But, the biggest grief is that we have no longer this beautiful amongst
us. While delivering his speech at the Institute of Management, Shillong he
got cardiac arrest and collapsed. Even after great efforts, he left us, making
27 July 2015 one of the saddest days in the history of India.
 At last, I would like to say even though he left us, he is still in our
hearts as the inspiration and the motivation. His golden words and
miraculous deeds will always be remembered. He was a man of high stature
and value who taught us the way to transform our nation and we shall
always be grateful to him.
