"Life is a difficult game. You can win it only by retaining your birthright to be a person." ― Abdul Kalam Topic(s): Life Tags: difficult More From Abdul Kalam "Man needs his difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy success." "Tell me, why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognise our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?" "Unless India stands up to the world, no one will respect us. In this world, fear has no place. Only strength respects strength." More In Life "It’s surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined by their feelings toward themselves, and if you’re not comfortable within yourself, you can’t be comfortable with others."― Sydney J. Harris "My life is my message."― Mahatma Gandhi "Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence."― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
