Quotes

Shubhanshu Shukla

Astronaut and part of the Axiom-4 mission

“Learn how to navigate failures. There will be self-doubt. But one or two moments of failure do not define you. How you bounce back from failure, how you move on from failures or success to the next step is the key.”

“We should learn to realise what we have. We actually try to focus on what we do not have. Respect what you have, make the best of it and success will keep coming back to you without even asking.”

Prasanth Nair

Astronaut and one of the four selected for the Gaganyaan mission

“My role model is this great country, Bharat. All great souls who have walked on this soil have been energised by this place. Whenever you do anything, do remember (that) it is not a single person that will bring you to Viksit Bharat, it is the entire nation. Keeping Bharat as your biggest inspiration, whatever you do, do it for the betterment of Bharat Mata.”
