For success of any mission, it is necessary to have creative leadership. Creative leadership is vital for government, non-governmental organisations as well as for industries.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamRead
It's when children are 15, 16 or 17 that they decide whether they want to be a doctor, an engineer, a politician or go to the Mars or moon. That is the time they start having a dream, and that's the time you can work on them. You can help them shape their dreams.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Children begin to form their aspirations during their teenage years, and it's vital to support them in pursuing their dreams.
A. P. J. Abdul Kalam emphasizes the formative years of adolescence, particularly between the ages of 15 and 17, as crucial for the development of aspirations and career choices. During this period, children start to envision their futures, whether as doctors, engineers, or explorers of worlds beyond Earth. As mentors and caregivers, it becomes our responsibility to guide and nurture these dreams, providing the encouragement and resources necessary for them to blossom into reality.
