After they had created and flown the first ever airplane the world realized that "Using merely wood, cloth, and steel, the Wrights transformed an age-old dream into a reality" ("The Achievement: The Dream of Flight"). Even though the Wright brothers were limited in the amount of resources they had, they were able to use their creativity to make a machine that defied most people's' ways of thinking. This showed us that you can create anything you wanted because your dreams are what guide you on your path to creativity, not even materialistic needs or envious minds can stop you from creating, inventing, or thinking. Before creating the first flying airplane, they had to think of ideas to test, tweak, or learn about what would help them to fly their plane even though "The Wright brothers knew absolutely nothing about flying. But they had a deep interest in it. They began to educate themselves systematically in the theory and the art of flying. They were unique in their approach. The rest of the world was enthralled with the combustion engine that had been adopted for use in the automobile, another breakthrough invention that continues to influence civilization to this day. The brothers ignored all of that and, after watching two birds in flight in 1899, concluded the pilot had to be able to control every movement of the vehicle under wind power, thus being able to move horizontally, vertically, and left to right" ("The Wright Brothers."). They were able to make the first airborne plane because instead of focusing on the problem of flight like everyone else did, the Wright brother's thought differently, more creatively, than most and realized you needed to learn the art of flying first before you could actually fly an airplane. This displayed that despite their lack of knowledge you can think of different ways to work out problems to find a solution. Creativity is the key to figure out anything that comes your way of doing the things that you love most. Through creativity the Wright brothers were able to show their true quality and vision that they had to make a machine that would revolutionize travel forever. Whenever they could think around situations or occurrences was when their creativity was expressed, therefore they could do what they loved most. Fly.

The Wright brother's love for aviation has turned these simple men into heroes through their qualities of determination, being able continue on through obstacle, and creativity, the ability to think differently and uniquely than everyone else, which had led them on a path to inspire many to invent, create, and build anything they dreamed of. Even though the Wright brothers had many critics and disbelievers they were still able to push through these obstacles to a day that will always be remembered; December 17, 1903, the first manned flight. Though to get to their first flight they first had to think of ways around the problems they had to be able to invent what they truly loved and showed us that you can create anything you dream of. The Wright brothers have inspired me because "The legacy left by Orville and Wilbur is undisputed. 'In classic American fashion -- in a pattern that would give birth to such age-defining products as the Model T and the Apple personal computer -- a breakthrough that would fundamentally alter society was the product of inspired tinkering by dedicated shade-tree mechanics,' Time magazine said. That sums up the life of the Wright brothers who literally turned flying into a reality. Until they came along, it was merely something to dream about" ("The Wright Brothers."). I think the Wright Brothers deserve to be heroes, as they have taken the dreams of many and of themselves, and showed the world that dreams do come true. This inspire us all because all you need to achieve your dreams is to believe that you can do whatever you want to do, if you love it. Every hero thinks of different ways to impress the public but there are only a select few who can touch the hearts of many. Orville and Wilbur were these kind of people that were not just in it for the fame but because they actually loved the sight and feeling of flight.
