Origin of the quote
Wings of Fire, early account of Kalam's schooling, quoting his teacher Iyadurai Solomon.
Who actually said this?
VerifiedThe book explicitly credits Solomon as the speaker. Kalam is the reporting author; retain that distinction instead of presenting the advice as his original invention.
