Out of Great Minds
By
Dr A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
After centuries Karma Yogies like Kalam Sahab take birth to offer their Herculean services in the worship of Mother Land and die in harness. He was born on October 15, 1931.
Today on the birth
anniversary of Dr Kalam Sahab let us take an opportunity to have a holy
dip into intellectual Gangotri emerging out of his mighty mind.
Here are Key Points of his speech entitled delivered at Lucknow Literature Carnival by Bharat Ratna Dr Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam (October 15, 1931 -- July 27, 2015).
His thrust areas include:
1. Reading Habits from young age and continuous acquisition of knowledge through books indeed make human beings appreciate multiple aspects of societal life and become Autonomous Learner.
2. Fostering Culture of Excellence : Excellence is never by accident. It's a process, where Individual or Organisation or a Nation continuously strive to better themselves. thus emerges the Culture of Excellence.
3. Stories help Humans Navigate Life's Complex Social Problems. --Just as Flight simulators Prepare Pilots for Difficult Situations.
4. Imagination is an awesome evolutionary adaption that allows people to Teleport Mentally into ability to experience what we didn't actually experience.
5. Everything lies in the eyes of beholder Right, Wrong, Sin, Good, Love, Hate -- All of these depend on Who is looking.
6. Life Force : The mind of great authors are guided by the Great Life Force:
a) Great authour Johan Wolfgang Gothe could create all times great epic i.e. Faust.
b) Sir William Shakespeare could create Great Musical Plays.
Both of them were convinced that they could transcend The Past, The Present and The Future because of the inherent Life Force.
c) Maharshi Valmiki, The Great Indian Epic Master evolved the classical story of the Ramayana, that stands for The Past, The Present and the Future.
Valmiki agreed that a Divine Force helped him evolve The Ramayana.
7. Each one of us born with this "Divine Life Force" but only a few souls fully Concentrate and use this Life Force.
Finally Dr Abdul Kalam Sums Up with the message to the Young and Budding Author :
............."The message friends, particularly the young authors, is this:
You have the mighty force within you -- assemble it, concentrate and use it for imagination and crate great works."
.........................................Dr A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
