Reading Reflection No. 3

I read the book, "The Wright Brothers" by David McCullough

1.

• I was surprised that neither of the brothers had a family of their own, and they were whole-heartedly committed to their entrepreneurial ways. 
• The thing that I am admired the most about these two were transparent they were with their passion on providing flight for human beings, and the way they went about it, the journey, was astonishing how it played out. 
• The least admirable thing that the Wright brothers did was when the U.S. War department were not interested in their innovation, and since they didn't respond to the brothers they took their innovation to France to conduct trials there. In hindsight, it makes sense why they made the move that was one of the only flaws did not sit well with me, although it was not major. 
• Most definitely the Wright brother's encountered adversity and failure throughout their innovation of flight here and that is the epitome of their success story, and why it is still a strong story to this day.             

2.  I noticed a variety of competencies that the Wright brother's exhibited in their duties as an entrepreneur from problem solving, adaptability, forward-thinking, patience, and mostly important persistence and determination. 

3. A part of the reading that I found to be confusing was how they described the flighting conditions at Huffman Prairie to be almost idea conditions for flight at the time, but later talked about how Kitty Hawk was the place with plentiful wind and the idea place with no mention of Huffman Prairie. 

4. How did you guys continue with your aspirations of aeronautics with so much adversity and failure? I just want to know how they kept that drive for so long. 

Also, how did you guys stay so humble and true to your roots with the fame you and success you got for the innovation of flight here in America? It seems like it would be difficult to stay true to oneself and remember what got you there, once success happens, but I believe it has to do with the upbringing with values and morals instilled in them. 

5. I would stay the brother's definition of hard work would be doing something you have passion and love for, and that makes a difference in the world for the future. Also, continue to do this while all the challenges, adversity and world are against you and don't want you to success. Just keep fighting. I would stay that I share a portion of this opinion with them because I do not know if I would be able to continue with an idea or concept if everything continued to get in my way, and I tried multiple ways to succeed at it how the Wright brothers continuously did.
