Most parents want their child to choose a profession based on what the neighbor's child is doing, Dr. Kalam said. What about his/ her uniqueness and talent? "All of us are unique, but the world around you is doing its best to make yourself like everybody or somebody else." The youth needs to fight this moulding and try to imagine the impossible. "Break the limits of your imagination,"
Dr Kalam, informed about the challenges that the youth of our nation will have to handle. According to him, the major challenge is to bridge the rural and urban divide. This is followed by equal distribution of energy and water—the two major resources on which it is said that modern warfare will be fought. Synchronization of agriculture and industry, inclusive education, averting crimes against women and children and addressing numerous health issues are some of the other hurdles that the youth need to tackle.
