How I Am Inspired by Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

"With mind full of memories of the fun we had in the vacation, we hang our bags on our shoulder. Taking a deep breath we read "Dr. B.R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology". A million thoughts congregate in our mind like, life could have been better, I could have got admission in a better college, I should have marked the two answers correctly in the engineering entrance exam. Entering the college gate we read, "Smile you are at NITJ". Resting our bags on our shoulders, we think we deserved much better than this. At this point of time we should commemorate the magnanimous lines by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, "All birds find shelter during a rain. But eagle avoids rain by flying above the clouds. Problems are common, but attitude makes the difference!" This thought can make a difference in anyone's life and I totally relate to it. We should be proud of the college in which we are, the college in which most of the students fail to get admission. It's not the college; it's our attitude which can transform our life from mediocre to illustrious. During the 11 and 12 standard, every time I got my test checked, a thought came to my mind, had I taken the correct decision by opting for non-medical stream? Tired of the hardships, I used to get depressed and thought about the consequences of not getting admission in a good college. Then one day I read about the story of a ten year old boy. A boy who used to get up at four in the morning to take mathematics tuitions. Coming back home at 5.30 he went to an Arabic school to take lessons of Quran Sharif and walked 3 kilometres barefoot to collect newspapers for distribution. Reaching home, he had breakfast served to him by his mother. Then he studied at school and in the evening used to collect newspaper fare. That person did hard work till his last breath, the person whom we know by the name of "Dr. Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Kalam". He was not a mortal human, he was a great idea, an inspiration and inspiration never dies. "
