" "

Indians have been both afflicted and enriched by centuries of migrations. Loyalty to different rulers has dulled our capacity for a single allegiance. Instead, we have developed an extraordinary ability to be compassionate and cruel, sensitive and callous, deep and fickle, all at the same time. To the untrained eye, we may appear colourful and picturesque; to the critical eye, we are but shoddy imitations of our various masters.

Additional quotes by A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

I have used the word 'flow' at many places without really elaborating its meaning. What is this flow? And what are these joys? I could call them moments of magic. I see an anology between these moments and the high that you experience when you play badminton or go jogging. Flow is a sensation we experience when we act with total involvement. During flow, action follows action according to an internal logic that seems to need no conscious intervention on the part of the worker. There is no hurry, there are no distracting demands on one's attention. The past and the future disappear. So does the distinction between self and the activity.

फूलों को देखो, कैसे सद्भाव से दूसरों को अपनी खुशबू एवं शहद देते हैं! वे अपना स्नेह सभी में बिना किसी भेदभाव के बाँटते हैं। जब उनका कार्य समाप्त हो जाता है, वे शांत भाव से गिर जाते हैं। हमें एक फूल की तरह अपना जीवन जीना चाहिए तथा बिना अहंकार के अपने गुण सभी को बाँटने चाहिए।

We should note that human mind is a unique gift. Marvels of universe you can enter into it only if you have curiosity and thinking. I suggest to all of you, thinking should become your capital asset, no matter whatever ups and downs you come across in your life. Thinking is progress. Non-thinking is destruction to the individual, organization and the country. Thinking leads to action. Knowledge without action is useless and irrelevant. Knowledge with action brings prosperity.
