Inspirational Story Of APJ Abdul Kalam!!
▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼
There were about 70 scientists working on a very
hectic project. All of them were really frustrated
due to the pressure of work and the demands of
their boss but everyone was loyal to him and did
not think of quitting the job.
One day, one scientist came to his boss and told
him – Sir, I have promised to my children that I
will take them to the exhibition going on in our
township. So I want to leave the office at 5 30
pm. His boss replied “OK, You’re permitted to
leave the office early today”. The Scientist started
working. He continued his work after lunch. As
usual he got involved to such an extent that he
looked at his watch when he felt he was close to
completion. The time was 8.30 PM. Suddenly he
remembered of the promise he had given to his
children.
He looked for his boss, He was not there. Having
told him in the morning itself, he closed everything
and left for home.
Deep within himself, he was feeling guilty for
having disappointed his children. He reached
home. Children were not there. His wife alone
was sitting in the hall and reading magazines.
The situation was explosive, any talk would
boomerang on him. His wife asked him “Would
you like to have coffee or shall I straight away
serve dinner if you are hungry.
The man replied “If you would like to have coffee,
I too will have but what about Children ??” .Wife
replied “You don’t know?? , Your manager came
here at 5.15 PM and has taken the children to the
exhibition “.
What had really happened was …. The boss who
granted him permission was observing him
working seriously at 5.00 PM. He thought to
himself, this person will not leave the work, but if
he has promised his children they should enjoy the
visit to exhibition. So he took the lead in taking
them to exhibition The boss does not have to do it
every time. But once it is done, loyalty is
established.
That is why all the scientists at Thumba
continued to work under their boss even though
the stress was tremendous.
By the way, can you hazard a guess as to who
the boss was ?
He was none other than Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam .
