Six lessons from his life for teachers-students
Twelve months ago, on this day we were looking for yet another scintillating address by you as you descended on the picturesque campus of IIM Shillong. Alas, the script was different that day. The nation caught between disbelief and the inevitable was least prepared to accept what happened. As we pay our grateful homage to Kalam Sir, today, his memories fill our hearts with a million gratitude. RIP Kalam Sir.
Six of my learnings from you:
Who says you from achieving your dreams? You defied all Sir!
Despondency is your enemy, equanimity a friend. You embraced the later.
Working with the children is a privilege not bestowed on many. Seek it vigorously.
Your teachings were simple and touching. Effective communication does not require jargon and ideology.
We all need a mentor in our lives, whatever station we are at. Equally, choose one to mentor and support.
The love for nation lies in active participation in nation-building not in sloganeering.
The list is endless!!
