Great poem. I think the key to success on a long project like building an airplaneis to surround yourself with motivational messages like these, and motivationalpeople like the good folks at Brodhead. Here's a different delivery ofthe same message by Teddy Rooselvelt...The Man in the ArenaIt is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong manstumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongsto the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust andsweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again andagain, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who doesactually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions;who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end thetriumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least failswhile daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold andtimid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.--------Glenn ThomasN?????http://www.flyingwood.comRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: worth your trip

Not as good as sitting in a plane, but...One of my wife's friends was at the house on Friday with her 14 year old son. He was sitting in the living room watching the fish tank. (TV is in cold storage.)I never met him before so I thought I'd show him the fetal project underway.He had tons of questions and was shocked to learn that home-made airplanesexist. We went out the the little workshop where the stabilizer is set upand he was fascinated. He even commented that he loved the smell of the woodthe shed. Before the tour ended he said that some day he would like to buildan airplane. ...that was cool.--------Glenn ThomasN?????http://www.flyingwood.comRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

I like to read Thomas Edison's quotes when I'm discouraged. My favorites is "Inever failed, I simply found 10,000 ways that won't work."I work for LEXUS and all of the strange requests come to me. I tell the serviceadvisors that just because it can't be done, that doesn't mean that I can'tdo it. I tell the customers that provided time and money, anything is possible.My close friends think I'm going to get killed in the Piet. I tell them that myadrenaline junkie lifestyle is going to leave me in a wheel chair when I'm old.All I will have are stories to tell, and I want some stories to tell. IfI should get killed in plane crash or going 80mph on the back wheel in a motorcyclerace through the desert, then that sure beats dyeing of cancer.Jeremy in Dallas ------Original Message------
