2 .I WILL FLY
"I Will Fly" is an adapted version of Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam's speech. Dr. Kalam believes that the ignited mind of the youth is the most powerful resource on earth, below the earth, and above the earth. He inaugurated a program called "Sasthrayaan" at Paravur in Kerala, which means the promotion of science. The mission of Sasthrayaan was to ensure the preparation of approximately two thousand students from different schools, making them eligible to become engineers, scientists, doctors, and civil servants. Kalam's inaugural address was on the topic "Science Empowers the Nation."
After the address, many people raised their hands to ask questions. Abdul Kalam shares in this anecdote the relevance of a question asked by a teenager. The boy expressed his fear of speaking to his teachers and friends, admitting that he had never asked a question in class. The boy had a strong desire to become a marine engineer. Dr. Kalam was completely surprised but appreciated the boy for asking that question. He recited a beautiful poem named "I Will Fly" to instill courage and confidence in the boy. He encouraged the boy to fly using his wings of goodness, trust, potential, greatness, and confidence. He also encouraged everyone to be unique by facing life's toughest challenges. He provided confidence by stressing that these attributes would help them attain their goals.
