Plan, Prepare, Proceed
When you set a goal, whether it’s to achieve a certain grade, rank higher in your class, or pass an exam on your first try, start by planning. Next, prepare according to that plan. With a strong intention and determination, nothing can stop you!
As the author of “Wings of Fire” says, “Desire, when it comes from the heart and spirit, when it is pure and strong, has powerful energy.”
Have a Clear Vision
We often know what we want to become, but do we have a clear plan in mind? If not, we need to create one. Your dream should be clear, not like a blurry view on a rainy day.
Once you have a clear plan, you can follow it step by step. You’ll know how much progress you’ve made and how much more you need to reach your goal.
Dr. Kalam says, “A dream is not what you see while sleeping. It is something that keeps you awake.”
If You Fail, Never Give Up
Have you ever been called to the front of the class for sitting in the back and daydreaming? Dr. Kalam would have been on your side.
He believed that “The best minds of the nation may be found in the back benches of the classroom.”
Dr. Kalam said that every student has the potential to help make India a developed country, no matter where they start. By believing in yourself and working hard, you can achieve success.
