Today is the birth anniversary of Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, a man who left behind no mansion, no luxury-filled lifestyle, and no desire to accumulate wealth — but a legacy that continues to inspire millions.
He left behind thousands of books, a few personal belongings, and a lifetime of dreams for India.
Dr. Kalam spent his life serving the nation, inspiring young minds, advancing India's scientific capabilities, and reminding every student that their circumstances do not define their future.
He never measured success by what a person owned, but by what they contributed to society.
From a small house in Rameswaram to Rashtrapati Bhavan, his journey proved that greatness does not require privilege. It requires curiosity, discipline, humility, and an unshakable belief in one's dreams.
He encouraged students sitting on the last bench to dream of becoming scientists, teachers, leaders, and nation-builders.
He may have left behind very few possessions, but he gave an entire generation something priceless — the courage to dream and the confidence to believe that those dreams could come true.
Some people leave behind wealth. Some leave behind power.
Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam left behind a vision for a stronger, more developed India.
And perhaps that is the most beautiful measure of a life well lived: not how much we accumulate, but how many lives we inspire.
Happy birth anniversary to the People's President, the Missile Man of India, and the teacher whose dreams continue to guide our nation. 📷📷

A solar-powered yacht just successfully crossed 3,000 nautical miles without using a single drop of fuel.
Lukas Sjoman has turned the dream of perpetual, fuel-free ocean travel into reality with his self-built 11-meter yacht, the Helios 11. Cruising along Europe's scenic coastlines, Sjoman recently crossed a major milestone by logging over 3,000 nautical miles entirely on solar power.
Unlike commercial electric yachts that require frequent, expensive dock charges, this DIY vessel relies on ten standard residential rooftop solar panels feeding a 24kWh battery. The system generates up to 4,000 watts of peak sunlight energy, enough to power its 6kW electric outboard motor and even recharge the batteries to full while anchored.
What makes this achievement even more remarkable is its accessibility; Sjoman constructed the entire yacht for an estimated $20,724.
By breaking down the costs—including roughly $2,881 for the battery pack, $4,600 for the electric motor, and under $900 for the solar panels—he hopes to inspire a new generation of eco-conscious boaters.
The vessel's ultra-shallow half-meter draft also allows it to navigate secluded shallow anchorages untouched by larger yachts, proving that sustainable, off-grid marine adventure is both highly practical and incredibly affordable.

Dramatic close-up lightning videos like this are often faked or AI-generated; genuine strikes show a "bead-out" phase where the channel breaks into beads and an orange glow at the base. youtube.com/watch?v=N6vmXz…

Here’s retired US colonel Douglas Macgregor, former Senior Advisor to the United States Secretary of Defense talking way more strategic common sense on the Iran war than anything uttered by Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth:
“People are going to lose trillions in wealth. It will be a disaster, and it’s not something we’ll recover from. We’ve thrown all caution to the wind. Think of any number of worst-case scenarios, they are on the horizon. President Trump is still president of the United States, not president of Israel. He has to think about the consequences here at home for us for the average man, not for the billionaire class, not the Epstein class.”

This 2003 speech at the University of Nebraska is by far one of my favorites from Warren Buffett
You will get more value out of this than from reading 90% of books on investing
Worth listening and re-listening to

Final takeaway:
Munger's core insight:
"You can know these psychological tendencies and avoid being the patsy of all the people trying to manipulate you to your disadvantage."
His method:
• Study the 24 tendencies
• Watch for combinations
• Pay extra attention to disconfirming evidence
• Create systems that make good behavior easy
"It's not given to human beings to have such talent that they can just know everything. But it is given to us to keep learning."

Buffett and Munger just gave away 100 years of investing wisdom for free.
