"Success Is The Ability
To Go From One Failure
To Another Without Loss
Of Enthusiasm"

In a speech, I referred to those great pioneers of aviation, the Wright Brothers. I have read that, although both Wilbur and Orville were very bright, they nevertheless were very shy. They were brave enough to do what no human had ever done before, but getting up before an audience scared them to death.

Anyhow, one evening at a banquet in their honor, the toastmaster called upon Wilbur to make a speech. He rose to his feet and, after a long period of stammering and looking around nervously, he finally said, "There must be a mistake. I think you want my brother." Wilbur quickly sat down, and the toastmaster then obediently called on Orville, who replied, "Wilbur just made the speech."

Dare to dream! Dare to try the untried, to take the road less traveled and to reach for the highest star in the sky. Compete with yourself. Be better today than you were yesterday.
