One Ticket To Success

Failure is one ticket to success. Even after suffered many failure, it doesn't mean that we will never get the success we always dream about. Who will know that succesful is just around the corner when you decide to give up? Then, never give up is the answer!

Just like this one, the aviation pioneer, Igor Ivanovich Sikorsky who created the first successful helicopter in 1939.

Sikorsky bought a 25-horsepower Anzani engine in Europe and took it home to Kiev to get to work. His first helicopter model failed. He decided to try a fixed-wing craft. His first attempt, the S-1, also failed, for he had used an inadequately powered engine. But his second, the S-2, was a success.

He continued to acquire information and make improvements to his airplane models. He also acquired his pilot's license. His fifth plane, the S-5, gained national attention. His sixth, the S-6-A, won him the highest award at the 1912 Moscow Aviation Exhibition, and first prize in a military competition in Petrograd. This success lead to his appointment as head of the aviation division of the Russian Baltic Railroad Car Works.

There Sikorsky began conceiving the first multi-engine airplane, "The Grand", a luxurious passenger plane, revolutionary for its time. This person is one example the great inventor who never gived up to reached what he dreamed for. It turns up good right? He did it and with a huge success.

So, why quit trying? Keep on fighting, guys and gals!
