#BookLove Wings of Fire by A. P. J. Abdul Kalam and Arun Tiwari

About The Book

The 'Wings of Fire' is an autobiography by visionary scientist Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, who from very humble beginnings rose to be the President of India.

The book is full of insights, personal moments and life experiences of Dr Kalam. It gives us an understanding of his journey to success.

My Thoughts

This is book about Dr APJ Abdul Kalam and his humble life.

It gives the readers a glimpse of his early life, education, and career as a scientist in HAL, DRDO, and ISRO.

One of the greatest learning from the book is that that no matter how you begin your journey (humble or privileged), the times you fail don’t matter. If you have the spirit and belief in yourself and your cause, you will eventually see a bright ending.

The book also focuses on the moral values that should be curated from a young age.

Overall, this is a great read.
