gives birth of sufferings, is a blessing itself as it presents in our life an
opportunity for introspection. When adversity come we should think deeply of
our thoughts, feelings or behavior. A man can judge himself. We being a part of
divine power should not be afraid of adversity as it creates a power to help
people to solve their personal problems. Kalam was deeply moved by his father’s
advice and was inspired as well. He obeyed his father’s advice and began to
apply it in his life and in his own field of science and technology.
