Today I am going to pen down about the gentleman who is responsible for me choosing the profession that I am in. I am a great aficionado of Dr. kalam. Most of the professional decisions that I take in life are based on the learning that I have got from him. My blog website name is inspired by his ambitious movement "what can I give?". He has set VISION 2020 for India that how our nation should look in 2020 but he might have never thought that the world will be dealing with such a crisis in 2020-21. If he would have been alive today definitely he must have given great direction to combat this virus. But for now, let us learn from his teachings. Here are the few lines that I wrote on the day when this great soul left us:-
1. Unprecedented President
2. Unprecedented Scientist
3. Unprecedented Teacher
4. Unprecedented Leader
4. Unprecedented Life
5. Unprecedented death (he died doing teaching which he loves to do for the rest of life )
According to him, a leader must have the following attributes:-
1. Mission and Vision
2. TRAVEL INTO UNEXPLORED PATH
3. MANAGE SUCCESS AND FAILURE
4. COURAGE
5. TRANSPARENCY( LEAD WITH INTEGRITY AND SUCCEED WITH INTEGRITY)
6. Big dreams
His vision in 2020 was to see a developed India.
He was from a very humble background and showed the world that a normal person can reach unimaginable heights if he possesses courage, commitment, perseverance, vision, and dreams.
Managing the failure...
He fell one rank short of selection in the Indian air force because of his personality and he was completely shattered after that and he realized that this was not his destiny and he don't have to lose hope and finally he became president of India ( head of all defense forces).
Leadership
When India's first satellite launch vehicle failed in 1978 and he was project director and mission director of the project. His boss professor Satish Dhawan took him to the press conference and took the complete blame on himself and assured that country that we will succeed in a year. And the next year when a project became successful he asked Kalam Sahab to go and conduct the press conference.
It indicates the true leadership of professor Satish Dhawan that when the failure occurs he took the responsibility and when success came he distributed it among his team members.
Nationalism
He was project director of the integrated missile development program and when the project was successful the smile that he has seen on the face of people made him realize that he could have gone to a foreign country and earned a lot of money but the respect and satisfaction which he is getting now. He will never be able to get anywhere.
There is enough example of his exemplary personality that can be taught and imbibed in our life.
I would like to end my blog with one of the famous his saying in the European parliament...
Ladies and Gentlemen
I am an Indian and delighted to be present in front of members of the European parliament on their golden jubilee. We need righteousness.
Where there is righteousness in the heart there is beauty in the character when there is beauty in the character there is harmony in the home.
When there is harmony in the home there is order in the nation.
When there is order in the nation there is peace in the world.
Hey, European Union your mission spread everywhere like the air we breathe.
Jai Hind
So inspiring!!
