Conviction is a force multiplier. If you want something, claim it in your gut. The universe itself responds to your inner certainity. –Marianne Williamson
The course of human life has changed and evolved over generations. The greatest of discoveries, inventions, art, literature, and movements, which now form the pivotal turning points of the modern world, were motivated by a strong belief and force of determination of a few select ones who trusted their thoughts and ideas, sought the truth and refused to accept the norm. Imagine, if Pythagoras, Plato, and Aristotle had accepted the idea that the Earth was flat! It was only because they didn’t submit to the widespread common belief (and were convinced, that the Earth was, in fact, a sphere) that they set out to bring a change in the mass belief by proving their theories right and expanding the understanding of the human race.
The Wright brothers’ first airplane flew on December 17, 1903. The idea of powered aviation was reasonably absurd during that time, but the intense desire of the two brothers, as fanatical as it seemed, was to find a way to make their vision possible. And so, after years of struggling and experimenting, they were successful in carrying out their first flight which lasted for 12 seconds and launched the world into the aviation age for good.
