Samuel Pierpont Langley

The nature of the universe is that it is not at all a random universe, but instead, is driven by people’s believes. Everything has its own cause or purpose for its existence. Things that has a favorable cause or meet the demand and satisfy people will more likely to survive and grow in comparison with the others. Sinek gives three examples of Apple, Martin Luther King and Wright brothers to prove his point. He mentions that though they have the same aspects and conditions as others, what makes them

n Dr. Amentrout’s lecture he discussed the process of scientific discovery, using the Wright Brothers and their journey to the “first flight”. Along, with the Wright Brothers, he used four other aeronautics pioneers. Dr. Amentorut described the process in five simple steps: 1. Go with your passion 2. Be willing 3. Learn what has been done before 4. Let the ideas flow 5. Don’t give up when the unexpected happens. The Wright brothers spark for aviation began in 1878, Wilbur, the oldest at eleven

and continue through the toughest of times. And it takes resilience to be able to take many failures and persevere to eventually succeed. I believe that one of the people we should nominate for having the "Right Stuff" is Samuel Pierpont Langley. He had a passion for flight ever he created the Astrophysical Observatory at the Smithsonian. He began by rigorously studying birds in flight, just like the Wright Brothers did at about the same time. He had the courage to accept $50,000

The Wright Brothers The world was changed on December 17, 1903 when Orville Wright flew the first airplane for a period of 12 seconds. Orville, born in 1871 and his brother Wilbur, born in 1867 grew up in Dayton Ohio with two other brothers, Reuchlin and Lorin and one sister Katherine. They grew up in a loving family, which helped the brothers with the success in their future. Many people are not aware that much of their knowledge that went into the makings of the airplane came from their mother

What sets The Wright Brothers apart from Samuel Pierpont Langley? Many things actually, but the major differences were pointed out in the TED talk “How Great Leaders Inspire Action” given by Simon Sinek. Sinek is an ethnographer who also comments on major publications and teaches at Columbia University. Sinek’s famous TED talk was given to a local audience at Puget Sound in 2009 where he describes the reasons why companies like Apple and speakers like Martin Luther King Jr. are much more successful
