Never give up on your dreams

I AM greatly inspired by people who have experienced adversity and never to for a moment, ever chose to give up.

I believe in fighting, and working towards your dreams. Most people give up on their dreams not because of themselves but almost always because of other people around them telling them they can't do it.

Dreaming is one of the sweetest things ever, we always dream about things we love and hope.

Each one of us has aims in life, like; travelling to your favorite place, meeting that famous person, moving to a different country, having children and so on.

The truth of it all is that reality is not always on our side. Even when trying to do our best in order to make our dreams come true, we sometimes don't manage to do it.

Remember, the only way you can fail is if you give up. When you look back on your life, don't have regrets.

Believe in yourself; believe in your future, you will find your way out. Every time you fail, you are also learning and improving.

The most important thing is to fight; this is the most apparent proof that we have tried our best to obtain what we long for.

First of all, never take to heart when others say we should give up, because no one else can restraint our freedom and liberty.

Continue dreaming big, never give up, that is the most important thing you can do for yourself. Never lose focus on what you aim for in life, the idea is to never build barriers in your heart and do everything passionately. People who fight against the wind always have a chance to gain, because they preferred the risk and gained experiences.

Wilbur and Orville Wright at the age of 11 and seven, their father brought a toy ‘'helicopter'' for them, which sparked their interest in flying.

Though their first ‘'chopper'' was fragile and did not survive due to their rough play, it ignited a burning desire inside them for the hidden world of aviation, and ultimately put the man flying in the sky.

Over several years, the boys tried to build these themselves. They called them "bats". But the larger they got, the lesser they could fly. Both brothers were discouraged and changed focus to kite-flying. The year 1896 was a turning point for the brothers who got seriously interested in aviation again.

They read all the articles on aeronautics that they could get. On December 17, 1903, at 10:35 a.m, the Wright Brothers made an aviation history.

Orville flew the Flyer for 12 seconds. He covered just 120 feet. They made a total of four flights that day before a gust of wind damaged the Flyer.

In 1905, the Wrights made the world's first "practical" aeroplane which stood airborne for more than half an hour.

The next year, on May 22, they succeed in receiving their patent for the ‘'Wright flying Machine''.

Wilbur made record-breaking flights with their new improved machines. Wright brothers' planes became the world's first military aeroplanes to be used by the US army. It's your turn, hunt for your dreams.

The fire burning inside of you is very powerful; it is waiting to burn even brighter. Following your dreams can be both terrifying and exciting.

When things go wrong as they sometimes will, when the road you're trudging seems all raggy, when the funds are low and the debts are high, and you want to smile, but you have to sigh, when care is pressing you down a bit, rest if you must but don't you quit. "Feel motivated to wake up every morning to go and conquer the world."
