Answer 2

Kalam was born on 15th October in a poor yet humble Muslim family. The family was not quite sound enough with respect to the financial conditions. Also being brought up among the seven siblings, the family had to face immense pressure. His father was a fisherman and also used to own boats for allowing the Hindu pilgrims to go past and forth between the town of Rameswaram and that of Dhanushkodi, which is an extinct name now. In spite of the fact that Kalam’s father was uneducated, the latter always encouraged and wished Kalam to study further. And probably it was because of this support that Kalam daily used to get up at 4 am, then bathed and then used to attend the Mathematics classes that comprised of only five students in its one whole session.During the childhood days of Kalam, there was no electricity in the town. Due to this Kalam and the others had to survive in kerosene lamps. These lamps were lit with a span of two hours that of 7 pm to 9 pm. However since Kalam always studied till 11pm, which is actually more like quite late at that time, his mother Ashiamma used to save some oil for him.At MIT Madras Institute of Technology, Kalam perfectly understood the importance and the value of time. He once recalled one such incident when he was busy leading a certain project on system design and suddenly one day the principal showed himself up because he wanted to check Kalam’s work. Checking it, it seemed that the latter was quite dissatisfied, following which he told Kalam that his scholarship would be taken away if he was unable to submit the respective project within two days. Now this was actually no less than a real challenge not just because he might lose his scholarship but also because losing it would mean all his father’s struggles shall be failed. Kalam soon started working without either food or sleep and he was actually successful. The principal later checking the work was seriously quite a lot impressed.
Yet another failure which was actually quite a big one was that of SLV-3, that was Kalam’s first major project. Adding to this situation, Jalaludin, the childhood mentor of Kalam passed away. However these two incidents didn’t stop Kalam, following which he worked harder for the same project but for a second time. On this issue, Kalam said, “I knew that for success, we have to work hard and persevere.” Following this, Kalam again launched the SLV-3 and this time it surely met with success.
