Your First Attempt Won’t Be Your Best Or Your Last

by Michael Hackmer / Tuesday, 17 December 2019 / Published in Dreams and Goals, Entrepreneur, Motivation
Wright Brothers Plane - First Attempt

Whenever we start off on a new invention, begin to cultivate an idea or just start something new, it is important to remember:

  1. Dreams and ideas take time. And…
  2. The first attempt won’t be your best or last.

116 yrs ago today (December 17, 2020), the Wright Brothers made the first successful flight of a self-propelled, heavier-than-air plane.

It was an incredible moment. Their plane stayed in the air for 12 seconds and went 120 feet.

Think about how far we have come, and how far we can travel thanks to advances in aviation.

It all started with a 12 second flight that went 120 feet.

The lesson we should all take from that first flight is to stay inspired and stay motivated and keep trying.

Accept your success, even if it feels small. Because it every successful step brings you closer to taking a big leap.
