Take time to reflect on your life as you read through this article. If you're in a hurry, don't bother, this is not for you. Before you get ahead of yourself, look at your life as at the moment.
Where are you? Is that where you ought to be?
How did you get here? Are you making any realistic progress?
What are you doing about it? Is that all you've got in you?
What have you achieved so far? Is that the best you can do?
If all your answers to the above queries are positive, stop reading this and resume whatever it is you do because you seem to be where you want to be, and I don't know if this article will add value to your life.
If you happen to the amongst those who are expecting a miracle here, go away!
This is for the few who are willing to put some extra effort into their lives.
Okay. You have a pastright? How was it? Now forget about it and be grateful that you've made it this far. Life is your decisions and actions and their impact upon the world from this point onward. If
there is anything from your past is threatening your progress, face it and deal with it. That way you'll not have to look behind your back every now and then while you're busy headed where you ought to be in that future we were talking about about.
Today, we'll be talking about a few guys. How their simple decisions and actions add up to define our lives. Am not an anatomy professor so if I call the brain a muscle, let's assume its a muscle.
When I look an aeroplane, I don't just see that spectacular piece of work that we'd all love to own, or travel in, or clean up, or take a picture with depending on your level of self belief. I see the ambition
on the eyes of the Wright Brothers when flight was only restricted to birds and debris/victims of strong winds/tornadoes. I see the first steps in the life of the aviation industry. The thought behind it, the action of making the first model, then the first real plane, then the attempt to make it fly and
the risk to actually fly.
There were vehicles back then. Sometimes around the year 1900AD. Most of you can't manufacture a vehicle today. You probably haven't owned one yet. Or maybe, the one you have is just something to get by with as you prepare to get the one you really want. But a couple of bicycle repair guys back then at a time when only a few wealthy people could afford to drive, thought beyond the prestige of
driving, to the impossible dream of flying, and went a step further to achieve it.
Now, here you are, reading this note and thinking to yourself that others have already done every big thing that there is to do. Admitting that all you need to do is survive on your job and pay bills or buy land, build a house, buy cars, spouse, kids and live happily ever after...how shallow of you?
You are probably already struggling to get by with your current hustle and with your wants consistently outdoing your income, I don't see why should not keep pushing harder and thinking outside the box you're currently stuck in. The Wright Brothers thought, acted upon their thoughts and gave us the aviation industry. As a result of the above 14 word paragraph, we have commercial airlines, private jets and planes, military aircraft for aerial warfare, flying doctors, weather, news, G.P.S, the internet, computers, mobile commucation, man going to space, people working in or around planes, others dreaming for those jobs, stories and movies about planes, casualties and fatalities among other endless effects of two bicycle repair brothers who decided to think wildly and
put some effort towards those impossible thoughts.
Do you think you are good enough? Do you feel smart? Are you worth anything? If you die today, how many will remember you for the things you owe them? Will you leave any legacy? Will people have to stumble upon your picture or a relative to remember you? What's stopping you from doing something that will impose your greatness upon the world? Why should the people you leave behind have to bear with the cost of your death instead of celebrating the fruits of your life eternally?
Whenever you encounter an aircraft, you subconsciously respect the Wright Brothers. iphones, ipads, ipods macbooks etc are a Steve Jobs legacy. We've got facebook, language, google, KFC, fire, money, phones, houses, independence, education, Mc Donalds, Faiba adverts, great music and so many other things that affect our lives in one way or the other, all thanks to some guys idea and subsequent actions.
You can be the next homo erectus, bill gates, or Wright brothers. Alone or as a group. If you try that stupid brilliant idea of yours, you could end up being the next big thing. Use your current bicycle job to fund your airplane dreams and change the future of the entire world. You'll most definitely end up shaping yours in the process.
Am not saying you need to beat or equal the, achievements of the wright brothers to make a mark in this life, AM ONLY TELLING YOU THAT YOU CAN DO MUCH BETTER THAN YOU ARE DOING AT THE MOMENT. FAR MUCH BETTER. SO BREAK AWAY FROM YOUR MENTAL JAIL AND
DO MORE EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!
How big are you? Unleash your potential.
