WHO’S THE AUTHOR
Audrey Hepburn (1929 – 1993) was a Belgian-born British actress and UN ambassador for UNICEF.

3. Persistence or perseverance: mastery is achieved only when you have found a method of continuous improvement for yourself.

“Flight by machines heavier than air is impractical and insignificant, if not utterly impossible,” said physicist and Head of the US Naval Observatory, Simon Newcomb, in 1902. A year later, the Wright brothers proved otherwise with the first flight of their glider. Even two years after the Wright brothers had covered 38 kilometres with their Flyer 3, William H. Pickering, Director at Harvard College Observatory, said, “It is clear that with our present devices there is no hope of aircraft competing for racing speed with either our locomotives or automobiles”.
