January 25, 2008
When Rediff.com requested former President A P J Abdul Kalam to compose a Republic Day message for our readers, he promptly sent us this piece, which we are honoured to publish:
Dear friends, let me share with you a seven-point resolve on the occasion of ensuing Republic Day 2008:

1. Wherever I am, a thought will always come to my mind -- *<b>What can I give?* </b>

2. Whatever the mission I will do, my motto will be <b>*to work with integrity and succeed with integrity.* </b>

3. I will always remember that <b>*my winged days, be not spent in vain*. </b>

4. I realise I have to set a great goal that will <b>*lead me to think high*, </b>work and realise the goal.

5. My greatest friends will be<b> *great human beings, great teachers and great books*. </b>

6. I will firmly believe that no problem can defeat me; <b>*I will become the captain of the problem, defeat the problem and succeed.* </b>

7. <b>My National Flag flies in my heart and I will bring glory to my nation. </b>
