Leading and managing are two different ways of organising people. The manager uses a formal, rational method, while the leader uses passion and stirs emotions. A leader is someone whom people naturally follow by choice, whereas a manager must be obeyed. A manager may only have obtained his position of authority through time and loyalty given and not as a result of his leadership qualities. A leader may have no organisational skills, but his vision unites people.

Additional quotes by A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

C.V. Raman, he said. Success can only come to you by courageous devotion to the task lying in front of you. I can assert without fear of contradiction that the quality of the Indian mind is equal to the quality of any Teutonic, Nordic or Anglo-Saxon mind. What we lack is perhaps courage, what we lack is perhaps driving force which takes one anywhere.
