So, dear teachers, will you please take him by his hand and teach him things he will have to know but gently, if you can. Teach him that for every enemy there is a friend. He will have to know that all men are not just, that all men are not true. But teach him also that for every scoundrel there is a hero that for every crooked politician, there is a dictated leader.

Teach him if you can that 10 cents earned are of far more value than $1 found. In school, teach him it is far more honorable to fall than to cheat. Teach him to learn how to gracefully lose, and enjoy winning when he does win.
Teach him to gentle with people, tough with tough people. Steer him away from envy if you can and teach him the secret of quiet laughter. Teach him if you can how to laugh when he is sad, teach him there is no shame in tears. Teach him there can be glory in failure and despair in success. Teach him to scoff at cynics.

Teach him if you can the wonders of books, but also give time to ponder the extreme mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun, and flowers on the green hill. Teach him to have faith in his own ideas, even if everyone tells him they are wrong.

Try to give my son strength not to follow the crowd where everyone else is doing it. Teach him to listen to everyone, but teach him also to filter all that he hears on a screen of truth and take only good that comes through.

Teach him to sell his talent and brain to the highest bidder but never to put a price tag on his heart and soul. Let him have the courage to be impatient, let him have the patience to be brave. Teach him to have sublime faith in himself, because then he will always have sublime faith in mankind, in God. This is the order, teachers but see what the best you can do. He is a nice little boy and my son. (Abraham Lincoln’s letter to his son’s teacher)

Last year I went to a village t inaugurate a program called Sasthrayaan, which means ‘the propagation of science’. The mission of Sasthrayaan was to ensure the preparation of about two thousand students from different schools, towards making them eligible to an engineer, scientists, doctors, qualified managers, and civil servants. This action would be, in turn, empower about two thousand families of the village. My inaugural address to a mixed audience, consisting of five thousand students and family members was on the topics, ‘Science Empower the Nation.’

After my address, hundreds of hands were raised for asking questions. Due to the limited availability of time, I selected twelve students at random, from the last row to the first, to ask questions. I would like to share with you one question of great concern which was asked by a student.

The question was from a teenager who had come from a faraway village. He was nervous and a typical representative of the youth of India. The boy began speaking, “Sir, I don’t know what I should ask. I am nervous. I have not asked any question in my class. I need to have confidence, but I have not gained any confidence through my education during all these years. I am afraid to talk to my teachers. I am afraid to talk to my friend. Whenever I talk, I compare myself with other students and their elegant dress. Please tell me. I want to become a marine engineer. I want to travel on a ship. I want to be the captain of the ship. I want to build the engine of the ship. shall be able to do all these, sir? How can I achieve this mission? What should I do? When the boy completed the question the entire audience and the dignitaries on the dais including the Chief Minister, were looking at me wondering what Kalam was going to say to a sincere question of a young village boy.’

Millions of tons of smoke, sulfur gas, ash, and unknown quantities of toxic by-products are sent up every day all over the world and we simply do not know if our chemical involvement is slowly poisoning us all. What is even worse, the increase in carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere from burning oil and coal may, in time, prevent the escape of the sun’s heat from the earth. Leading to the rise in the earth’s temperature, the melting of ice-caps, and arise in the level of the ocean.

The sea has become a cheap dumping ground for all kinds of waste products. Although the sea has a great capacity to break down all kinds of waste, this capacity is not unlimited, especially in shallow seas. Industrial effluent gets washed out to sea, for industries tend to concentrate in coastal areas in order to be able to dispose of unwanted waste cheaply. Atomic wastes, as well as poison gases, are dumped in the sea by industrial and military authorities.

It would be foolish to shut our eyes to the danger of pollution that human beings cause. It is true that more and more people have become aware of the dangers of pollution. Rivers are being gradually resorted to the health; international organizations are trying to keep the seas clean. Industries are being asked to pay large sums to meet the cost of disposing of effluents. Campaigns are being organized against cutting down trees. Public opinion is gradually being aroused to concern, and if all of us become concerned about our environment, we shall be able to keep the Earth habitable for the future generations
