The Wright Brothers, David McCullough
What was
the general theme or argument of the book?
A story that draws the footsteps
supported by the brothers' struggle and the love of the family who realized
this innovative technology that unleashed humanity from the earth, using
materials such as a huge amount of diaries, news articles, letters with the
family, and so on.
How did
the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in
ENT 3003?
As a matter of fact, their
accomplishments have not been done just by brothers. What kind of people
cooperated in the test flight. Although they say they do not have many friends,
they are not just freaks, but their loyalty to their work attracts many
collaborators, and as a result the human power's first power flight was reached.
You can tell huge amount of people helped these brothers. In ENT 3003, I’ve
learnt other people’s opinions matters. You cannot start a successful business
just by yourself. That’s why we have feedback every Monday.
If you had
to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would
that exercise involve?
Bug list,
Idea Napkins, and Figure Out Buyer Behavior for sure.
What was
your biggest surprise or 'aha' moment when reading the book? In other words,
what did you learn that differed most from your expectations?
I thought they are well-educated and very genius people
at first. However, they were actually did not receive engineering education and
developed an airplane by themselves. Also, I didn’t know that Wright's success
in developing a commercial plane was first recognized in France, not in the
United States.

Hi Kaito,
ReplyDeleteGreat post on the reading reflection number two. The book Wright Brother, David McCullough is a fantastic book for looking experience in the business area. Also, that help you to learn the difference of well educated and very genius people.
Nice post.
I did not know that the wright brothers did not receive formal engineering education. It is a great testament that education is not a necessary criterion for discovery, rather what one needs is an idea and a passion for the idea. The fact that the book touched on the various struggles of the brothers also touches on the importance of perseverance through intelligent failure.
ReplyDeleteHey Kaito,
ReplyDeleteI too read this text and found that the ideas and themes that were apparent too you were some that I found as well. The text was quite interesting and helped further you understanding of the roles of certain agendas can have. Further, hard work and determination and two central attributes needed to succeed in life.
