The time when he lost his father and how he felt when conferred with many awards like the Padma Bhushan have been written in much detail. Personal tragedies have not been left out. The time spent at the Langley Research Center, NASA and Wallops Flight Facility gets a lot of attention. The book recollects many anecdotes and stories from childhood, his time at school and college. How he inspired himself to achieve dreams and how he went about accomplishing so much is what the book captures nicely. Kalam by narrating his life journey evokes the reader to identify with one’s inner fire and potential, for he was of the firm belief that each one of us was born with the strength and potential to make a tangible change in the world. It gives us an understanding on his journey of success. The book is full of insights, personal moments and life experiences of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, who from very humble beginnings rose to be the President of India. The 'Wings of Fire' is one such autobiography by visionary scientist Dr. all are possibilities.Every common man who by his sheer grit and hard work achieves success should share his story with the rest for they may find inspiration and strength to go on, in his story. Pushing herself to do anything is rare, so this is unlikely. Or she'll just keep on dragging on, never changing because she isn't putting in enough and investing in herself to change. Perhaps she'd integrate better, be calmer and a more reasonable, fitting dragon. Maybe one day she'll snap out and give up on being a noble. Cloud's rebellious, spiteful nature goes exactly against this, yet she still sits through and drudges on with her life, falling more behind with every day. The Ice Kingdom has high expectations, and will try to extract the best from every dragon. It's difficult for her to reach for loftier goals. Weak willed and unpredictable, she thinks in the short term. She wades out of her comfort zone, only to hurry back and refuse to come out again. Riding on what intelligence she has and her quick memory, she pulls her way through school, coasting along with ease. She avoids work, maybe considering herself too good for it. She doesn't deserve an award for effort, because she practically puts in none. Reverence that she clearly doesn't deserve. She wants everyone else to notice efforts she makes, to be friendly and kind and hold some sort of reverence for her. Yet she's always left with humiliation and lingering regret, wishing she had managed to control her emotions better. If she shouts enough, if she shows how strong she is, others might accept her more. She craves being noticed, being praised, being respected. Tearing through everything, only to stand in the ashes and ask where she went wrong. It grates against IceWing values, yet she still burns like a wildfire. She disregards warning signs, often spouting off words that she'll later regret, and involve herself in situations that could have been avoided. Easily angered and hard to cool, she gets snappish and annoyed. She's still young, and thus a tempermental dragonet. Loud and proud of it, but also hesitant to speak out on occasion. She likes attention and being noticed, but will shirk from the spotlight. She's talkative and loves rattling off, but will avoid other dragons at all costs because chattering with the wears her out. Cloud, like every other dragon, is a convoluted assembly of personality traits that barely mesh together yet still show up regardless.
