1)
I had the opportunity to read about two entrepreneurs, Wilbur, and Orville Wright. It surprised me the most that both brothers worked on everything together and even had at a moment of time a joint bank account. I always imagined that brothers always are in competition about who becomes more successful and who makes their parents as much proud as possible, but the Wright brothers did everything together and shared even same hobbies such as playing musical instruments for example. All the businesses they ever opened like for example the newspaper or the bicycle store were opened together as well.
I admired the most about the entrepreneurs that they worked six days a week in their stores and on Sunday they would still help out in their house and work on some regular house products that would need fixing. I also admire the fact that the Wright brothers wanted to sell the first airplane to the United States military since they wanted to help their own country even though they were never interested.
I must admit that I can not think of anything that I do not admire about the entrepreneurs. I believe that both of them loved creating new products and worked as many hours as they needed to fulfill their products and did it without hesitation. I believe that they lived a life working together on projects that they were always passionate about.
The entrepreneurs encountered failure when people told them that it was impossible for humans to fly and that men should keep their feet on the ground. As I mentioned before, after working extremely hard for several years on the first airplane, they wanted to sell their product to the American military and they showed no interested only years after they were already famous.
2)
As far as I am concerned, I would say that their most important competence was to work on products for as long as it took to perfection their products, like for example the bicycles and the airplane.
3)
It was confusing to me that Wilbur was the only brother on willing to attend a college and Orville never even graduated from High School. He certainly had a brilliant mind as well but never considered to extend his knowledge.
4)
I would ask them how they managed to work together as well and share exactly the same interests even though they had four years of age difference.
5)
I think that the Wright Brothers did not interpret 'working hard' as something negative or exhausting. I believe that every product they created, was for them a hobby and they loved inventing solutions for problems that seemed impossible at that time.
