Times and destiny complement each other. When the time is right, it is easy to achieve;If you rebel, you will have thorns.
The famous writer Gladwell took this view to the extreme in his book "Aliens", he believed that good times will give individuals more opportunities, and Gladwell's theory, although it is important to the times, has its unfinished points.
On the one hand, the times create heroes, but there are also frustrated people. The Second Industrial Revolution in the United States was rich in wealth, but there were also generations such as Mark Twain, Nikola Tesla, and Vanderbilt. This is all the trick of the times, and it is beyond human power to resist.
The two are different in the times, and the heroes are also different. During the Napoleonic period in France, there were many famous generals, but their achievements were all on the battlefield. This is all due to the needs of the times, and the actions of heroes are also due to the times. Therefore, it is said: "Wherever there is a mountain, the song of the mountain is sung." ”
Looking at human history, invention and discovery require the maturity of technology and social conditions.
The times are changing, and it is inevitable that science and technology will progress with it. The dream of flying in the past has existed since ancient times, but none of them have come true. Why?The times have not yet come. It wasn't until the 19th century, when technology flourished, that Sir George Kelly succeeded.
However, Kelly was born at the wrong time, and the bulky and inefficient steam engine made it difficult for him to realize his dream of flying. However, Kelly is also very lucky, the ancestor of aerodynamics, and his theory has been proven in later generations.
The Wright brothers, the lucky stars also. Inheriting Kelly's theory, with the help of the internal combustion engine, the manned flight of self-powered aircraft was finally realized. Kelly's success is unforgettable. Wilbur Wright also said, "We design airplanes according to the precise calculations of Sir Kelly. ”
Era, technology, talent, the integration of the three, in order to achieve great causes. The dream of flying, from ancient times to the present, has finally come true. There are many such examples throughout history.
It is a great blessing in life to be born at the right time. Today, everyone is in a prosperous era, China is prosperous, there is no war and chaos in the world, and opportunities are everywhere. Whether at home or overseas, you can display your talents.
Today's world is no less than the Second Industrial Revolution from 1870 to 1890.
Cao Cao at that time, the traitor of the troubled times;If you are born a hundred years early, you may become a capable minister who rules the world. The times create heroes, and heroes must also know the current affairs.
For example, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there was no hope for industry to save the country, and it was the right way to put pen to paper. It is an anachronism for people to emulate Napoleon. Those who know the times are handsome, and those who know how to advance and retreat are the best policies.
The Wright Brothers' success lies not only in technology, but also in method. Although Lilinthal had the achievement of gliding and flying, his method was wrong, and he eventually failed and died. The Wright brothers learned from this and succeeded in solving the problem of aircraft control by using the scientific method to make accurate calculations.
List of high-quality authors
The Wright brothers not only know the current affairs, but also have the law. In the same era, there were many people who wanted to build airplanes, but there were many failures and few successesNon-technical is not enough, and the practical method is not mature. Although Lilinthal was a pioneer, it was a pity that his method was wrong and ultimately failed. The Wright brothers, on the other hand, focused on theory, rigorous experimentation, and cautious flying, and finally succeeded.
Wind tunnel test, thousands of wing shapes, handling stability are solved. Unmanned test flight, function verification one by one, success in hand, party with power to fly.
In the past ten years, many inventors have also wanted to build airplanes, but there are many failuresThe situation is not unfavorable, and the practical method is inappropriate. Although encouragement is commendable, non-professionals cannot do it.
Amateurs may be able to win evenly, but they cannot make steady returns. Everything needs to be professional, otherwise it will be difficult to "live".
The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus said, "A man cannot cross the same river twice." "Times change, but principles live forever.
Sing the song of which mountain you will sing on which mountain", those who know this can move with the times and follow the trend.
