Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.
Back in the 19th century, two brothers had an idea which eventually became their passionate dream. Their pursuit of that dream was rewarded with an accomplishment that changed the world travel.
On Friday December 17, 1903 at 10:35 a. m., the Wright brothers(Wilbur and Orville) achieved their dream. They flew "the world's first power driven, heavier than air machine in which man made free, controlled, and sustained flight." This memorable feat took place at Kitty Hawk, North California on a cold windy morning.
The dream started with an idea that was planted in their minds by a toy given to them by their father. In the words of boys, "late in the autumn of 1878, our father came into the house on evening with some object partly concealed in his hands, and before we could see what it was, he tossed it into the air. Instead of falling to the floor, as we expected, it flew across the room till it struck the ceiling, where it fluttered a while, and finally sank to the floor." This simple toy made of bamboo, cork and stretched rubber bands, fascinated the Wright brothers and sparked their lifelong interest in human flight.
The Wright brothers were great thinkers. They enjoyed learning new things. Initially, they recycled broken parts, built a printing press and opened their own printing office. Their interest moved to bicycles and in 1893, they opened the Wright Cycle Company where they sold and repair bicycles. But Wilbur(the old brother) had his mind set on something more exciting. He decided to seriously pursue flying.
