Read the passage and answer the following Questions :
Wings of Fire is an autobiography of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam and covers his early life and work in Indian space research and missile programmes. It is a simple tale of a boy from a humble background who went on to occupy the highest seat, that of the president of the country.
Dr. Kalam has been a key player in Indian space research/ Indian missile programmes. The book gained immense popularity in India and has been translated into multiple languages. It is an engaging reading to say the least. However, it tends to drag towards the end. The technical details given therein are lost on the common readers since they are specific to space research and missile projects.
In my opinion, the initial chapters of Wings of Fire are lovable as they describe the quest of this young boy on the road to realizing his dreams. Another important factor is Dr. Kalam's positive thinking and outlook that resonates throughout the book. Despite holding many high ranking positions in various organizations, Dr. Kalam's humility shines throughout like a beacon. The secret to his success is indeed his ability to ignore negative things around him.
