It has been a while since I last wrote the blog, and kinda busy a little bit. The word 'Courage' has come to my mind these days. Well, it is not because I am so courageous. Maybe I might be a little bit scared. However, I strongly believe that a society will not advance a single inch if there are not people who want to build a glider and jump off the cliff to test if he can fly or not.
In fact, we owe our facilities, equipments, and many other things to those who did sacrifice for these things. When we look back to the history of aviation, it took a lot to accomplish this ridiculous idea of flying. Different people tried different ways to fly. When we see them trying, we might think they are just crazy people who are working hard for something impossible. However, history has proved that although the first person who tried flying failed and died, his action has not been wasted. Without his endeavor, we could not have been able to travel with ease and comfort.
Some arduous tasks, in fact, take more than just one generation. The first generation failed, but the second generation picked up the ideas and improved, but still failed. But the third generation will succeed.
Now that the world's resources are depleting, we cannot pass the resources to the future generation. The resources will be depleted anyway; however, we can pass our ideas, and knowledge and adventures so that the future generation will pick up, improve and thrive.
However, it is still a mystery to me what made Columbus to sail west despite the strongly belief at that time that the world was totally flat, what made Neil Armstrong to become the first astronaut to land the moon, which used to be the place only reachable in our dreams, and what made Socrates choose the poison cup instead of abandoning his belief.
Indeed, we need heroes, our country needs heroes, and our world needs heroes.
