Srinagar, June 29: 'I want to become you' came an answer from a first standard student when President A P J Abdul Kalam asked 'what would you like to become when you grow up'.
Kalam was interacting with the Delhi Public School students here yesterday, when the answers from the kids poured -- a rocket scientist, a divisional commissioner, a lawyer and so on.
When the President asked if anyone of them wanted to become a politician, surprisingly no one raised hands.
Kalam told the students to remain steadfast towards their dream and unmoved with the hardships and strive hard to achieve their aims.
"This accomplishment will ultimately transform the society and establish India as a developed country," he said.
He asked students to be brave and not get frightened at the sight of a problem.
You should defeat the problem confronting you rather than the problem defeating you, he told the tiny tots here when he had a delightful and intimate interaction with them.
Asking the students to sing with him the lines highlighting the importance of having dreams and then toiling for their transformation into action, the President recited: "Dreams, dreams, dreams. Dreams transform into thought. Thought results into action". And the children followed him in the chorus.
