A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Quotes

Dreams are not what you see in sleep. They are the things that do not let you sleep.
A.P.J. Abdul Kalam

To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goal. Individuals like myself are often called 'workaholics'. I question this term because that implies a pathological condition or an illness. If I do what I desire more than anything else in the world and which makes me happy, such work can never be an aberration.
A.P.J. Abdul Kalam

To live only for some unknown future is superficial. It is like climbing a mountain to reach the peak without experiencing its sides. The sides of the mountain sustain life, not the peak. This is where things grow, experience gained, and technologies are mastered. The importance of peak lies only in the fact that it defines the sides. So I went on towards the top, but always experiencing the sides. I had a long way to go but I was in no hurry. I went in little steps—just one step after another—but each step towards the top.
A.P.J. Abdul Kalam

To me, the level of responsibility is measured by one's ability to confront the decision-making process without any delay or distraction.
A.P.J. Abdul Kalam

I never used any outside influence to advance my career. All I had was the inner urge to seek more within myself. The key to my motivation has always been to look at how far I had still to go rather than how far I had come.
A.P.J. Abdul Kalam

This is my belief: that through difficulties and problems God gives us the opportunity to grow. So when your hopes and dreams and goals are dashed, search among the wreckage, you may find a golden opportunity hidden in the ruins.
A.P.J. Abdul Kalam
