Question

I realize how the contributions of the youth in the past continuously contributed to the

world of today in many fields. I would like to assert that no youth today need to fear about

the future. Why? The ignited mind of the youth is the most powerful resource on the earth,

under the earth and above the earth. Dear young friends I would like to talk to you on the

topic ‘I am born with wings.’

Last year I went to a village to inaugurate a program called Sasthrayaan, which

means ‘the propagation of science’. The mission of Sasthrayaan was to ensure the

preparation of about 2000 students from different schools, towards making them eligible to

be engineers, scientists, doctors, qualified managers and civil servants. This action would be,

in turn, empower about 2000 families of the village. My inaugural address to a mixed

audience, consisting of 5000 students and their family members was on the topic, ‘Science

Empower the Nation.’

After my address, hundred of hands were raised for asking questions. Due to the

limited availability of time, I selected 12 students at random, from the last row to the first, to

ask questions. I would like to share with you one question of great concern which was asked

by a student.

The question was from a teenager who had come from far away village. He was

nervous and typical representative of the youth of India. The boy began speaking, Sir, I don't

know what I should ask.I am nervous. I have not asked any question in my class. I need to

have confidence but I have not gained any confidence through my education during all these

years. I am afraid to talk to my teachers.I am afraid to talk to my friends. Whenever I talk, I

compare myself with other students and their elegant dress. Please tell me, I want to become
a marine engineer. I want to travel in a ship. I want to be the captain of the ship. I want to

build the engine of the ship. Shall I be able to do all these, sir? How can I achieve this

mission? What should I do? When the boy completed the question, the entire audience and

the dignitaries on the dais including the Chief Minister, were looking at me wondering what

Kalam was going to say to the sincere question of a young village boy .’
