Today marks the first death anniversary of our dearest Missile Man A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. As a tribute to the great scientist who taught us to dream big, Onmanorama lists out 10 of his most iconic quotes to keep you inspired through the day:
1. “Don't take rest after your first victory because if you fail in second, more lips are waiting to say that your first victory was just luck”.
2. “All birds find shelter during a rain, But eagle avoids rain by flying above the clouds”
3. “For great men, religion is a way of making friends; small people make religion a fighting tool”.
4. “Dream, dream, dream. Dreams transform into thoughts and thoughts into actions”
5. “All of us do not have equal talent. But all of us have an equal opportunity to develop our talents”.
6. “If you want to drag your footprints on the sands of time do not drag it”.
7. “If you want to shine like a sun, first burn like a sun”.
8. “Dreams are not what you see in sleep. Dreams are those which dosen't let you sleep”.
9. “I'm not a handsome guy, but I can give my hand- to- some one who needs help. Beauty is in heart, not in face”.
10. “Sometimes it's better to bunk a class and enjoy with friends, because today when I look back, marks never make me laugh, but memories do”.
