India's new president examines why people in India, given their skills, resources and talents, and capable of being the best, settle so often for the worst. Kalam sees the necessity for a patriotism that transcends religion and politics, and for role models who point out the path to take. Eventually, he says, the people of a nation have the power, by dint of had work, to realise their dream of a truly good life.
