Work towards your dream

HAVE you travelled by plane?
If not, maybe it’s one of your dream to one day see the ground from the sky.
Well, for now, I want to just drop back a bit from the invention which is the plane to the inventors.
The plane was the dream of two high school dropouts, Wilbur and Orville Wright normally referred to as the Wright brothers.
What’s really interesting about them is that when they were dreaming to fly in the sky, at that time it was impossible.
People laughed at their stupid dreams.
Their father who was a church minister discouraged them telling them that they were wasting their time.
Despite so many criticisms, Orville and Wilbur Wright never gave up.
They kept on doing their project.
Now here is also another interesting fact about the brothers.
They knew they were going to fail.
They knew success was not a day away or even a year away.
They knew failure was part of the process.
They actually failed over and over again, just to fly their invention.
It seemed impossible.
However, after the plane crashed again and again but the two brothers were not willing to give up.
They kept on pushing the boundary.
Every failure was a learning experience.
On top of their failures, critics were laughing at them.
They were seen as idiots trying to put people in the sky.
Despite the criticisms, the brothers kept going.
Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, and months turned into years.
Still no success.
What’s so amazing about this two brothers is, despite other people’s opinions, they still believed in their one and only dream and that was to one day put people in the sky.
Dec 5, 1905, the brothers successfully flew their invention around the statue of liberty in New York.
Millions of people came to witness.
Today we are enjoying their brain child.
Well, many of us have dreams.
However, those dreams die in the midst of criticisms.
The bible says without vision, people perish.
If you want to leave a legacy, never give up on your dreams.
Do whatever it takes to be successful.
In the end, you have only one life to live. Either let your dreams die in the midst of criticisms or you rise up above negative opinions of others and make the rest of your life the best of your life.
