Desire, when it stems from the heart and spirit, when it is pure and intense, possesses awesome
electromagnetic energy. This energy is released into the ether each night, as the mind falls into
the sleep state. Each morning it returns to the conscious state reinforced with the cosmic
currents. That which has been imaged will surely and certainly be manifested. You can rely,
young man, upon this ageless promise as surely as you can rely upon the eternally unbroken
promise of sunrise... and of Spring.
A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Wings of Fire
dream is not what you see when you sleep at night, but dream is something which does not let
you sleep.

A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Wings of Fire
We are all born with a divine fire in us. Our efforts should be to give wings to this fire and fill
the world with the glow of its goodness.
A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Wings of Fire
What makes life in Indian organizations difficult is the widespread prevalence of this very
contemptuous pride. It stops us from listening to our juniors, subordinates and people down the
line. You cannot expect a person to deliver results if you humiliate him, nor can you expect him
to be creative if you abuse him or despise him. The line between firmness and harshness,
between strong leadership and bullying, between discipline and vindictiveness is very fine, but it
has to be drawn.
A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Wings of Fire
God, our Creator, has stored within our minds and personalities, great potential strength and
ability. Prayer helps us to tap and develop these powers.
--A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Wings of Fire
