To my wife and family, who motivate me toward greatness.

To all the great minds of the past that convince us that we, too, can excel.

And for those who have convinced us that:

We are each a direct, reinvented reflection of all those great people who have preceded us and who so positively inspired us to be great.

.

If a blade of grass can grow in a concrete walk and a fig tree in the side of a mountain cliff, a human being empowered with an invincible faith can survive all odds the world can throw against his tortured soul!

Robert Schuller (b. 1926)
American televangelist, pastor, author

Motivation to do something is a powerful driving force. We know that people have literally done the impossible because they were motivated by some tremendous force. An example of a tremendous driving force that becomes the motivation for non-wavering action is the New York City Marathon. Some thirty-eight thousand marathon runners are fortunate to be selected by a lottery system. Only those selected are eligible to run in the marathon, which is made up of over twenty-six miles of hills and valleys running through the five boroughs of New York City.

So, if approximately forty thousand runners are allowed by lottery to race, how many people request to run each year? In 2008, there were over 105,000 entry forms submitted to the Road Runners Club. I would assume most of the 105,000 entrants were prepared to run the marathon. What type of commitment does it take to prepare for such a grueling race of twenty-six-plus miles? How many weeks, months, or years in advance must the runner practice and exercise for such a long race?

I estimate that a runner would have to practice for at least a year to build up the stamina needed for that distance. Regardless, the entire 105,000 runners requesting entrance were committed to practice and work out and race in the historic marathon. What commitment and drive! The ultimate goal of finishing the New York City Marathon was enough to motivate the runners to get up early before work or to go out late at night to run so many miles in preparation for a marathon that they might or might not have the chance to run in.

Nothing is impossible to a willing mind.

Monk Hae Chang

What is the motivating force that drives someone to work so hard for a far-off goal? Why do inventors try the impossible when striving to invent something new? An inventor may fail thousands of times before succeeding with a new invention. What sustains his faith in persevering until he has succeeded? Why do some succeed while many more fail?

Well, the way I see it, those who experience repeated failure are often unwilling to go the extra mile that the successful inventor is willing to go. Lets go back to the marathon race. In 2008, there were over thirty-eight thousand actual runners allowed to race. Of the 38,835 at the starting line, the vast majority37,899 runnersactually finished the 26.2-mile distance. That is commitment. The oldest runner was a man of eighty-seven! He finished the race in eight hours and thirty-nine seconds. Talk about motivation!

To dream anything you want to dream. Thats the beauty of the strength of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do. That is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself, to test your limits. That is the courage to succeed.

We Are Each Born into This World Destined for Greatness!

Sir George Cayley is considered the father of aerodynamics. In 1800, Cayley was the first person to invent and perfect a glider that was controlled in flight by a human being through the movements of the persons body.

In 1853, fifty years before the first powered flight was made at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, Cayley built a triplane glider (a glider with three horizontal wing structures) that carried his coachman 900 feet (275 meters) across Brompton Dale in the north of England before crashing. It was the first recorded flight by an adult in an aircraft.

When gliding operators have attained greater skill, they can maintain themselves in the air for hours at a time.

Wilbur Wright (1867-1912)
Co-inventor of first successful airplane
