Inspiring quotes by Kalam sir.
And one of the best quotes I find is
"What would you like
to be remembered for?
You Have to evolve yourself
and shape your life.
You should write it on a
page and that maybe a very
important page in the book of
human history -APJ Abdul Kalam"

Rating :- 4 stars

This book is really good, but it had the potential to be great. I wish there were more in-depth discussions around each quote; that would have been really awesome, right now it is just a collection of quotes. While I understand that it may not be the primary goal of the book, such additions could've enhanced its overall impact.

[Shruti · Rating 2 out of 5]

I wouldn't recommend purchasing this book.

There are three to four very good quotes but otherwise most quotes are somewhat repeated.

The quotes are mostly meant for teachers and students. They are mainly about dreams, learning, life, changes in the education system and national progress.
