Approach Solution -2
Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam earned his first wages as a young boy by distributing newspapers. During World War II, when the train services were disrupted, newspapers had to be bundled and thrown out of a moving train at the Rameswaram station. Kalam, along with his cousin Samsuddin, would collect these bundles and deliver the newspapers to the local readers. This experience was one of Kalam's first forays into responsibility and earning a living, teaching him the value of hard work and perseverance.
