Dr. Kalam

Yesterday Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam came to the college to speak. For those of you unfamiliar with the man, he was the president of India until 2o07.

He's a cute little old white-haired guy, and a space scientist. He told us; "A leader takes the failure, and gives away the success." He also told us, "Never say anything is impossible. Science makes the impossible possible. Do you know the honeybee? A very ugly little fellow. If you look at the actual dimensions and the size and the roundness of the honeybee, I would tell you he has no business flying. And yet he flies."

What a great quote. If I were the kind of guy to put up inspirational quotes on my cubicle, I'd put up that one. But I don't have a cubicle.
