A talented person generally refers to a very intelligent and outstanding person who died young. There are many such people at home and abroad in ancient and modern times. Wilbur, the elder brother of the Wright brothers, died young. One person.
?The Wright brothers founded the Wright Flying Company after their success in making airplanes. However, the elder brother Wilbur Wright did not enjoy the glory for too long and the company did not gain a lot of wealth. In 1912, He died on May 30 at the age of 45. This year, his father was already 82 years old, so he died young.
?What kind of family did the Wright brothers grow up in? They grew up in Dayton, Ohio. His father, Milton Wright, was a missionary and later a bishop, always teaching children to establish a correct outlook on life and values. However, his mother died prematurely of tuberculosis, and his sister Inseparable from them, the two brothers were inseparable in their careers and shared joys and sorrows.
This is what Wilbur Wright said in a speech, which shows that he is very satisfied and proud of his family. A good family and a great dream allowed the Wright brothers to leave their great lives in the long history.
?The Wright brothers built and tested airplanes for more than ten years will not be described in detail here.
After establishing an aviation manufacturing company, it was about to develop its ambitions. What caused a rising business tycoon to fall so young?
?1. Conspiracy theory, could the Wright brothers still kill each other? ?Conspiracy is always a topic that piques people's interest. Will Wilbur's death be as suspenseful and shocking as the plot of the movie? For example, if you are plotted to be poisoned by your younger brother, let's first see if the younger brother has this possibility.
?Books about the Wright brothers show that the good relationship between the two brothers will make everyone sigh and envy them. There is a description in the book: They live in the same house, work together 6 days a week, eat together, and all their money is deposited in the same account in the bank. In the words of their father, they were as close as twins and were indispensable to each other.
? Facts have proved that they have been involved in aircraft manufacturing experiments for ten years. Although they have had quarrels, they were all related to technical issues. These quarrels will not leave any emotions in their hearts. of contusion. Perhaps in history or even today, the brotherhood between the Wright brothers is a unique existence and example.
Also during the test flight, the two brothers realized that they could not do the flight test together. This was a dangerous test. The plane crashed and people died just by a slight mistake. Later, they all tried flying alone. , even if one is killed, the other can continue this great cause.
?Will there be deep resentment between the two due to their subsequent fame or limelight?
***Suffering can make people more closely connected, and sharing joys and sorrows will reveal the opposite nature of people.
?After the successful airplane test, the consciousness of the American authorities and the people was still that it was impossible for humans to fly into the sky in such a short period of time, so the two brothers had to show this fact to people. , tell people comprehensively. It happened that France was enthusiastic and keen about flying and wanted to purchase an airplane, but Wilbur needed to go to France for a test flight. At this stage, his brother Orville went to Washington to demonstrate flying. The two brothers had never been so separated in their previous lives.
?Orville was involved in a manned flight demonstration when a propeller blade broke, causing a crash. An officer on board the experience flight died. Although Orville was seriously injured, luckily A brush with death. People often say that those who survive a catastrophe will be blessed later. This may be true to the old saying, which is why Orville lived to be over seventy years old. The United States believes in the fact of human flight, but Orville cannot continue to perform flights to his heart's content and enjoy the attention given by the people for the time being, so he can only recuperate.
?On the other side of the Atlantic in France, Wilbur stayed here for more than a year. The aircraft he piloted performed safely again and again, breaking the flight record again and again, even though he was an American. Dude, but the French people gave him much more attention and honor than any other hero. Even the Queen of England, the King of Spain, etc. went to France to watch Wilbur realize his dream of human flight. They became little fans.
Later, after Orville regained his mobility, he and his sister traveled across the ocean to help his brother. Will seeing the gap in halo make Orville envious and jealous? And later after returning to China, Wilbur's glory in flying around the Statue of Liberty further deepened Orville's jealousy. Just like in the movie and novel, he tried to eradicate his brother because of jealousy and hatred. Of course, everything is unknown. How could brothers with such deep feelings be jealous and jealous of each other? Moreover, the two brothers have never married and have no heirs to carry on the family line. What is the use of monopolizing such a large company and interests by one person.
?2. If someone died of typhoid fever, could it be that he was physically and mentally exhausted from doing business?
?The book writes that in May 1912, Wilbur fell ill and was diagnosed with terrible typhoid fever again. His body and spirit completely collapsed, and he died of the disease on May 30. . Typhoid fever is very simple in today's medical overview. It is an acute intestinal infectious disease caused by Salmonella typhi. Treatment is a piece of cake with modern medical technology. However, at that time, there were no specific drugs to treat it, and we basically relied on ourselves. The immune system fights the disease.
After the establishment of the Wright Aircraft Manufacturing Company, Wilbur never flew again. Instead, he was busy taking care of business and dealing with patent litigation. For him, flying and business were two completely different things. In a different life, he can devote himself to flying without paying too much attention to and dealing with the interpersonal relationships around him. He does not need to care about the quality of interpersonal relationships. As an epoch-making inventor and pilot, people treat him with great courtesy. However, after entering the business road, it was equivalent to entering a battlefield without smoke. In particular, patent litigation made him very anxious.
He once wrote to a friend and said, "It makes us sad when we think about what we might have accomplished if we had spent all this time experimenting, but there is always something to be said for dealing with things." Easier than dealing with people, no one has complete control over their life according to their own choices.
? So is Wilbur suitable for business?
?While he was running the bicycle company, there was a period of increasing competition, and he became restless, believing that he had no talent for business and was not suitable for it. He also said to his father:
Of course, this letter is still very long, but from here we can already see that Wilbur’s later career path was not in line with his true temperament, but The successful development of the aircraft had to push him to the commercial road.
?Some people may say, in the early days, the Wright brothers were still in the bicycle business. If they are suitable for this, why are they not suitable for the aircraft manufacturing business?
?But people should note that the size of these two businesses is not at the same level at all, and the competitors they face are not at the same level, not to mention the buyers they face. The bicycle business was in an environment where cycling was fashionable and fashionable, so it was good not to have to take too much care of the business. In fact, they spent a lot of time during this period developing airplanes and flying tests, because they had a right-hand assistant managing the bicycle shop.
?The sudden change of identity, as well as business dealings and patent litigation, made Wilbur physically and mentally exhausted in his prime, and his immunity suffered great damage. Perhaps typhoid fever took advantage of it and struck him. Destroyed Wilbur.
Among us, aren’t there many people who are confused and troubled about career choices, and are struggling with careers that are not suitable for them and with their true hearts? This kind of struggle is a disease of the heart, and heart disease is the most devastating thing to a person.
In 1918, his 46-year-old brother Orville sold the Wright Company until he died of a heart attack at the age of 77. Perhaps the most passionate and enjoyable time for the Wright brothers was the ten years they spent building airplanes. The business path was really not what they liked.
