In 1902, the Wright brothers were still perfecting their flying machine design and testing it at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. They had already achieved several successful glides with their glider in 1901 but were now working on incorporating a motor to propel the aircraft forward.\n\n**The Hidden Insight**\n\nAt first glance, this quote seems like a straightforward statement of intent from innovators working on a revolutionary project. However, upon closer inspection, it reveals a crucial aspect of the Wright brothers' mindset: they didn't start with a blank slate or wait for inspiration to strike. Instead, they actively worked on designing a new machine while still in the midst of testing and refining their existing prototype. This paradoxical approach – simultaneously advancing multiple iterations of an invention – is what allowed them to make significant progress towards their goal.\n\n**How to Use This**\n\nTo apply this mindset today, professionals and creatives should focus on maintaining a continuous design cycle: iterating on existing ideas while also working on new concepts in parallel. By doing so, they can mitigate the risk of getting stuck on a single project or idea and ensure that they're always making progress towards their goals, even if it means juggling multiple projects at once.",{"id":41,"quote_text":42,"author_id":5,"source_id":17,"has_image":18,"author":43,"source":44,"quote_tag":45,"commentary":9},2753796,"We were lucky enough to grow up in an environment where there was always much encouragement to children to pursue intellectual interests; to investigate what ever aroused curiosity.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[],{"id":47,"quote_text":48,"author_id":5,"source_id":17,"has_image":18,"author":49,"source":50,"quote_tag":51,"commentary":9},2753784,"If we worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true really is true, then there would be little hope for advance",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[52],{"id":53,"tag":54},5729732,{"id":55,"tag_name":56},17501,"accepted",{"id":58,"quote_text":59,"author_id":5,"source_id":17,"has_image":18,"author":60,"source":61,"quote_tag":62,"commentary":68},2753775,"If birds can glide for long periods of time, then why cant I ?",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[63],{"id":64,"tag":65},5729721,{"id":66,"tag_name":67},3802,"birds","**The Backstory**\nThis quote is attributed to Orville Wright, one of the pioneers of aviation, during the early 20th century. At that time, the Wright brothers were struggling to perfect their glider designs and were heavily influenced by the study of bird flight. Their experiments and observations of birds' ability to glide long distances were crucial to their success.\n\n**The Hidden Insight**\nThe quote reveals a profound tension between the desire for innovation and the limitations of current knowledge. On one hand, Orville is inspired by the natural world and recognizes the potential for human flight, but on the other hand, he is also humbled by the fact that he cannot yet replicate the birds' ability. This tension is a reminder that innovation often requires a deep understanding of the constraints that must be overcome.\n\n**How to Use This**\nTo apply this mindset, professionals and creatives should cultivate a sense of \"temporal humility,\" recognizing that their current limitations are not necessarily permanent. By acknowledging the gap between their current capabilities and their desired outcomes, they can focus their efforts on bridging that gap through experimentation, learning, and iteration.",{"id":70,"quote_text":71,"author_id":5,"source_id":17,"has_image":18,"author":72,"source":73,"quote_tag":74,"commentary":9},2753759,"We decided to place the motor to one side of the man, so that in case of a plunge head first, the motor could not fall upon him.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[],{"id":76,"quote_text":77,"author_id":5,"source_id":17,"has_image":18,"author":78,"source":79,"quote_tag":80,"commentary":9},2753745,"When the motor was completed and tested, we found that it would develop 16 horse power for a few seconds, but that the power rapidly dropped till, at the end of a minute, it was only 12 horse power.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[],{"id":82,"quote_text":83,"author_id":5,"source_id":17,"has_image":18,"author":84,"source":85,"quote_tag":86,"commentary":9},2753733,"In our gliding experiments we had had a number of experiences in which we had landed upon one wing, but the crushing of the wing had absorbed the shock, so that we were not uneasy about the motor in case of a landing of that kind.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":10,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":9},{},[],{"id":88,"quote_text":89,"author_id":5,"source_id":17,"has_image":18,"author":90,"source":91,"quote_tag":92,"commentary":9},2753721,"The ability to do this so quickly was largely due to the enthusiastic and efficient services of Mr. C.E.
