A small boy - the fifth amongst seven siblings of a
poor father, was selling newspapers in a small village
to earn his living. He was not exceptionally smart at
school but was fascinated by religion and rockets.
The first rocket he built crashed. A missile that
he built crashed multiple times and he was made
a butt of ridicule.
He is the person to have scripted the Space Odyssey
of India single-handedly Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam.

which left her with a paralysed left leg. At age 9, she
removed the metal leg brace she had been dependent on
and began to walk without it.By 13 she had developed a
rhythmic walk, which doctors said was a miracle.
That same year she decided to become a runner.
She entered a race and came in last.
For the next few years every race she entered, she
came in last.Everyone told her to quit, but she kept
on running. One day she actually won a race. And then another.
From then on she won every race she entered.
Eventually this little girl - Wilma Rudolph, went on
to win three Olympic gold medals.

A school teacher scolded a boy for not paying
attention to his mathematics and for not being able to solve simple
problems. She told him that you would not become anybody in
