I just want to express some of my thoughts with you and what I have learned from this book
“Wings Of Fire”.

About the book :-

The book contains the life of simple yet determined person. There is so much knowledge and
good things that everybody can extract from this book reading this book is a very heartwarming
and beautiful experience.

This book contains a very detailed description of how great things can be achieved through
simple thoughts. This book conveys the message of the authors that always keep your dream
high, your goal clear, plan perfectly and do hard work. The story is all about a warm and
intensely personal, deeply passionate common boat- owner’s son who has become India’s most
distinguished living technocrat. The pure faith in god and deep kindness dealing life with
positivity, science and technological advancement. Love towards one country and many more
things are mentioned in the book.

The book is full of insights, personal moments and life experiences of Dr. APJ Kalam, It gives us
an understanding of his journey of success.
This is a story of a boy who was born in a normal ad middle class family. He had a curiosity
about aeronautical engineering. He faced so many failures launching the satellite called SLV but
he proved anything can be achieved by keep trying because you become a failure then you go
one step closer to success.

The book recollects many anecdotes and stories from childhood, his life at school and college.
Personal tragedies have not left been left out.

The second half of the book deals with the author the scientist who made a significant
contribution in developing the country’s guided missile program, an effort for the security of the
nation. It’s not with reason that he was nicknamed the Missile Man of India.

My View :-
I hope this book is best suited for teenagers and youths to dream and to dare. In this book there is
something that everybody can extract from and worthy of being read by every Indian a very
detailed description of how great things can be achieved through simple thoughts. Always keep
your dream high set your goals clear, plan perfectly and work through people. I will suggest
never miss reading this great book if you haven’t yet.
