"The Sky is the Limit"- Summary

The Sky is the Limit
Kalpana Chawla
“Sky is the Limit’’ is about Kalpana Chawla, an Indo-American astronaut. Kalpana Chawla was the first Indian women to travel to space. She was born in a middle class family a small town Karnal in Haryana, India on 1st July 1961.

Her ambition at the age was to travel to Mars. Determined to pursue a career in aeronautics, she joined aeronautical engineering at the Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh. She got admission in the University of Texas for a Masters in Aeronautical Science in 1982.

Kalpana’s brother joined the flight school and when Chawla wanted to join the authorities wanted a written consent from the guardian. But her father refused. Her brother’s words, “Everyone fights their own battles,” motivated her to get the pilot’s license for airplane and glider.
She was determined about her goal and refused to accept ‘no’ for an answer. This strong attitude she inherited from her father Banarsi Dass Chawla.

She wanted to be an astronaut. She joined NASA Ames Research Center in 1988. She was selected to go to the Milky Way. For it she has undergone rigorous training that required immense level of fitness. Because the pull of gravity will increase the pulse rate from 72 to 102 within seconds. In 1996, she started off on her path to the ‘Milky way.’ Hence she became the first Indian woman to travel in space.

Her second space flight came to her in 2000. “Doing it again is like living a dream – a good dream once again” said Chawla. Unfortunately on 1st February 2003, the space shuttle exploded with Kalpana and other six crew members. Kaplana created a place for herself. She serves as a source of inspiration to many young women to think beyond horizons and reach for the stars. She conveyed her message in an interview as not to restrict oneself with small location. The whole world is ours. Decide your goal and your journey towards the goal is also equally important.

“Everyone always said, “The sky is the limit.” (Henty Cho). Pushing us to thrive in our lives so that we can achieve more, surpass, at times stumble and then rise prospered, be the best that we can be. Everybody admits that, but I declare the sky is not my limit for there are footsteps on the moon.

In life the sky is the limit, but most people don’t push themselves above the tree tops. Generally, people in life are afraid of failure; this is why some of us only do as little as possible to finish what needs to be done. How can discipline help us take the next step up the ladder? In other words, if you push yourself to achieve as much as possible, you will most likely be successful.

There is a time in everyone’s life when they notice that they have to take charge of themselves. For me it happened when I realized I wasn’t a kid anymore. The idea of saving money to pay bills is important to stay out of debt. Debt can leave a huge affect on the people that it consumes.

The point is that all we need to do as human beans is our absolute best. If we do not, we might as well just give up. Everyone has something that they can do better at, but for some it could be harder than others; it could be financially, politically, and even just being a kinder person. But when we push ourselves into the clouds and above the tree tops we realize that reaching the sky wasn’t as hard as we may think.

It is ok to dream about your future, in fact it is necessary if you want to make it a reality. You have a powerful tool that enables you to achieve (almost) anything you want if you know how to use it right: your brain.

"Sky is the limit, never doubt yourself, stay focused, never let anything slow or stop you from concurring your goals and making your dreams happen!

"Never, ever, let anyone tell you what you can and can't do. Prove the cynics wrong. Pity them for they have no imagination. The sky's the limit. Your sky. Your limit.

“My limit is beyond the sky.”
