Let's understand the quotes of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam with a story :-
Hiding Talents, Avoid Exploitation
Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Lily who had a big heart and loved to help others. She had a special talent for painting beautiful pictures, but she was shy and kept her artwork hidden from the world.
One day, Lily's teacher announced an art competition in their town. Lily's friends encouraged her to participate, but she was afraid that if she showcased her paintings, people would criticize or make fun of her. However, her grandmother gave her some wise advice, "Never show your weakness to the world, because the world is much interested to play with it."
Taking her grandmother's words to heart, Lily decided to face her fear and share her talent with the world. She painted a magnificent landscape that captured the beauty of nature. With trembling hands, she submitted her painting to the competition.
Days passed, and the day of the results arrived. To Lily's surprise, her painting won first place! The townspeople admired her work and praised her talent. Lily realized that by hiding her abilities, she had denied herself the opportunity to receive recognition and appreciation.
From that day forward, Lily continued to paint and share her artwork with others. She learned that not everyone in the world wants to take advantage of weaknesses; there are also those who appreciate and encourage our strengths.
The moral of the story is:-
It is important to have the courage to share our talents and abilities with the world. By hiding our strengths, we deny ourselves the chance to grow, be appreciated, and inspire others. We should not let fear or the possibility of criticism hold us back from pursuing our passions and sharing our gifts with others.
