Inspiring quotes by APJ Abdul Kalam that changed Indians forever

The 11th President of India, APJ Abdul Kalam’s sayings and deeds has inspired a whole nation. It is a sad day for India as the former president breathed his last. A Muslim, a player of the veena, as comfortable with the Quran as the Bhagvad Gita, Secretary of DRDO, president of India, as happy to write scientific papers as to write bestsellers for young India.
1. “It is very easy to defeat someone, but it is very hard to win someone”.
2. “Suffering is the essence of success!!!”
3. “If you fail, never give up because FAIL means "First Attempt In Learning".
4. End is not the end, if fact END means "Effort Never Dies" - If you get No as an answer, remember NO means "Next Opportunity". So Let's be positive."
5. “Dream, dream, dream. Dreams transform into thoughts and thoughts result in action.”

Five reasons why India will miss APJ Abdul Kalam 

1. He was the youngest 83-year-old India has ever seen: Even when he died, it was while delivering a lecture to students at IIM Shillong on a liveable plant. As Meghalaya chief secretary PBO Warjiri said, he passed away in his element, while delivering a lecture to youngsters, on a subject he loved.
2. He was the perfect symbol of meritocratic India, the ideal citizen, and the most positive Indian: Born in a village to a poor fishing family in Rameswaram, he rose through dint of his own hard work.
3. He was a Renaissance man: A Muslim, a player of the veena, as comfortable with the Quran as the Bhagvad Gita, Secretary of DRDO, president of India, as happy to write scientific papers as to write bestsellers for young India.
4. He always put India First: Whether it was as a scientist or President, he was a patriot first. From reportedly advising Sonia Gandhi to not becoming prime minister in 2004 to fathering the Pokharan explosion, he always said what he felt was right. He was inspired by three of India's greatest scientists - Dr Vikram Sarabhai, professor Satish Dhawan and Dr Brahm Prakash. He took only two holidays in his life, it is said - both for deaths, of his father and mother.
5. He was the master of inspiring quotes: Here are just five:
"You have to dream before your dreams come true."
"Great dreams of great dreamers are always transcended."
"To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goal."
"Man needs his difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy success."
"We should not give up and we should not allow the problem to defeat us."

Former President APJ Abdul Kalam died on July 27. He was admitted to a hospital following sudden illness. Kalam (84) took ill at a function here and was rushed to the hospital, M Kharkrang. The former President collapsed during a lecture at the Indian Institute of Management here at around 6.30pm and was taken to the hospital.
Born and raised in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu, Kalam studied physics and aerospace engineering. He served as the President of India from 2002 to 2007 and was awarded the nation's top civilian awards, including Padma Vibhushan, Padma Bhushan and Bharat Ratna.
Kalam spent four decades as a scientist and science administrator, at the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). He was the Chief Scientific Advisor to the Prime and the Secretary of the DRDO from 1992 to 199. The Pokhran II nuclear tests were conducted during this period.
He also wrote 14 books on various topics including India 2020 and Wings of Fire and Ignited Minds.
