Inspirational story: courage to soar, to soar

On July 4, 1914, at the National Day celebrations held in Seattle, USA, a plane appeared and performed various wonderful performances in the air. There was a burst of applause and screams in the crowd - in the early 20th century, the plane was still a new thing that was rarely touched.
After the plane landed, the pilot Maroni was surrounded by a flood of people. People not only envy his bravery, but also curious about the fact that the monster of this plane can fly high.
At this time, Maroni smiled and asked the people around him: "Who wants to fly with me to go to the sky to try it?" Even asked three times, no one answered - for the new things like airplanes, people are curious, but also There is endless fear of it: this thing flies in the air, not in the world, who knows if it will fall?
At this time, a young man stood up and said loudly to Maroni: "Sir, I think I can fly with you!"
Under the control of Maroni, the plane steadily flew into the sky and then performed various wonderful moves in the air. The young man, though he flew to heaven for the first time in his life, was a little scared in his heart, but he was curious to ask this question and couldn’t help but observe every action of Maroni’s driving. After 20 minutes, in the cheers of the people, the plane landed steadily, and the young man walked out of the cabin with a smile. He shouted loudly to the people around him: "Really good, you can go and try it!"

The audience, including the pilot Maroni, gave warm applause to the courage of the young. This young man has since gained a strong interest in the aircraft. Soon, he developed the idea of ​​making an airplane. With the help of his friends, he used the cheap local wood to make a new type of light aircraft. In 1916, the young man made the world's first floating small wooden plane. In the eyes of people’s surprise, the young people personally drove their own aircraft to conduct flight tests and succeeded in one fell swoop! Since then, the young man officially established "Pacific Aviation Products Company" in the suburbs of Seattle, and in 1917 changed its name to "Boeing Company." This young man who dares to challenge the blue sky is the founder of Boeing, William Edward Boeing. For more than 90 years, Boeing has been committed to the exploration and development of new products and technologies, from civil aircraft, military aircraft to space shuttles, launch vehicles, global communications satellite networks, and the International Space Station, making it the world's largest aerospace company. The famous B-17 and B-29 bombers in the Second World War, as well as the famous B-47 and B-52 strategic bombers during the Cold War period in the East and West, the more famous KC-135 aerial tanker and E- in the US Air Force. 3 The early warning aircraft are Boeing's products. Even the US Air Force's special plane "Air Force One" was converted from the company's Boeing 707 and Boeing 747.
The net tells you: no matter how many "impossible" in the world, as long as you dare to "stand up" and dare to "stand up", then there will be many "probabilities" to create miracles! Those who dream of soaring and dare to soar can finally fly in the sky and fly freely.
