Truth and Simplicity are self maintained
Let us stat with the first incident- During a hectic project, one of the 70 scientists working on it asked Dr Kalam if he could leave at 5.30 pm that evening as he had promised to take his kids to an exhibition. Dr. Kalam gave him permission. However, the scientist got busy with work only to realize that it was 8.30 pm. When he looked for his boss, he wasn't there. Guilty for having disappointed his kids, he went back home only to find that his kids weren't there. When he asked his wife where they were, she replied, "You don't know? Your manager came here at 5.15 pm and took the children to the exhibition."
When Dr. Kalam noticed him working hard at 5 pm, he thought to himself that this person would not leave work, but if he had promised his children, they should definitely enjoy the exhibition. So he, the boss, took the lead and took them there! Now coming to the second incident- Right after Dr. Abdul Kalam was elected as the President, he attended an event at Kerala Raj Bhavan in Trivandrum. With the power vested in him, he could have invited any two people as the Presidential guests. And guess what who he called? A road side cobbler and the owner of a very small hotel. Dr. Kalam had spent a significant time as a scientist in Trivandrum. He invited the cobbler and the hotel owner, both of whom he was close to during his time in Kerala. No other politician can do this, can they?
Stop comparing with others. Focus on yourself. Never argue with stupid people. Give respect to human as well as animal. Use more positive words. Spend some time alone. Help the poor. Spend some time with orphans. Release the thoughts that no longer serve you. Learn to value the margin in your life. Establish good habits everyday. Dress well but keep it simple. Express gratitude. Don't run for revenge. Forgive. Even if they never said “sorry”. Don't feel shy to say “sorry”. Acceptance leads you to simplicity. Give credits to other people. Be kind to yourself. Don't discriminate anyone on the basis of sex, caste, skin colour, weight, education, financial situation, disease etc. Be human.

Simplicity is the one magic word in today's world. Which only less people have that. And this depend upon person to person. Some one use simplicity in their field of work but not in other life or vice-versa. But some people like Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam in every field of life they were ? You know? Just imagine everyone is enjoying life with “simplicity “ then how will be the world. We always speak about the heaven but no one go and come from heaven; and it is one illusion we can say. But in practically if we manage simplicity then heaven will create here only(Earth) need not to find that heaven somewhere.
I using personally in my life the word simplicity. You just try to use this word you will be a happy person in this world take it from me. And your surroundings also automatically. It is tough at starting point but after some days you will manage. Make good friendship with this and everyone will become friend of you. I used to be a disturbed person with all but I used above word in my life then all are good at present. Truth and simplicity makes you humble. Cheers!
