'The Gift of Failure' Inspirational Stories.

Ready to Give Up ?

As far as he could remember, Samuel wanted to fly... But born in 1834, the bicycle hadn't even been invented. Determined, he devours knowledge.

In 1898, now Professor Samuel Langley, one of the world's most respected scientists, is given $50,000 to build his dream. The world comes out to see.

The "Great Aerodrome" launches. History is about to be made...and lost...

The crowd is scathing. The newspapers have article about him "Langley's folly - The flying machine which will really fly might take ten million years. There are better things to do."

Langley gives up. Dying a broken man.

Two high school dropouts have the same dream. Except they can't get funding or support.

They crash too. Not once. Often. Each time learning from the sage called failure.

Until a winters day in December 1903, when they fly their thousand dollar home made flying machine...Right through the illusion of impossibility.

Samuel Langley fell, Wilbur and Orville fell, Wilbur and Orville got back up.

Want to fly ? Get ready to fall.
