Although Howard Hughes had a very cocky attitude, he did what he needed to do to finish his life goals:
"Things I want to be 1. The best golfer in the world. 2. The best flyer pilot. 3. the most famous producer of moving pictures." Goals written on the back of a receipt (p55)
His attitude was so impressive that it led to a major contribution in the world of aviation. The steps that he took, not listening to people say that he cannot do it, great secrecy, the need for perfection, and he does what ever is necessary to get the job done, that along side of his Texan attitude would lead to one of the greatest achievements in aviation. This great achievement was that of pressurized cabins which led to being able to fly higher and faster, thus cutting down travel time and expenses.
Howard Hughes?s attitude was astounding, a quote from him which reads ?Bob, please read the attached article. It refers to me as a millionaire, while others have called me a billionaire. I?m very concerned about this change in perception and the effect it will have on our businesses? (Richard Hack P xi). This is showing how great of an attitude he has if he can be so picky that he worries about if people view him as a millionaire rather than a billionaire. When Hughes had something to tell someone he had no problem with worrying about what they would think about it, or who that person is. When Howard said ?I am a little tired of being pushed around and intimidated by Senators Brewster and Ferguson just because they have some very strong powers which are granted to all Senators but which were not intended to be misused for the promotion of a three-ring publicity circus.? (P159) This shows that Hughes obviously did not care if he was talking about senators talking down on him or just a normal person. He just does not care who they are- he will not take it. We all know that Howard had money because of his great attitude, ?While the rest of America was having trouble placing food on the table, Hughes felt the effect only when he decided to buy a new plane, and was told that he needed to pay for his purchase with cash.? This shows how rich he was, but more importantly it shows that he can be very cocky about it.
I hope I have answered the question “What was his personal life like?” good in here and would like to summarize by saying that he was able to overcome all odds to become a famous inventor that even had a movie made by him. I would also like to say that He made many, many products that we still use all from simple plants like peanuts in summary to the answer of the question “What did he actually do?”. He also had many hobbies that ended up in helping many people (“What did he like to do when he wasn’t working?”). I have found that this man that I knew nothing about before the report is one of the few real life people I know of that overcame so many things in his life that almost no one even knows
So, his role in the 1896 presidential campaign came down to this. However credible or not, he arouse the senses and got the blood boiling of the people, first of Emporia, then of the nation. The affect that this had was important, it is only when someone speaks frankly and possibly even out of context that people will listen to what it is that you have to say, especially if it is against the common thread of beliefs.
Henry Ford was a captain of industry. He owned Ford Motors, which was an automobile company. Ford was a man who always wanted his own way and he got it most of the time. The creation he is most famous for is the FORD MODEL T, the car for the commoners. His car became an instant hit amongst the people- the local people and the working class of people because it was very affordable and was not just for the rich. Ford was a very successful businessman but not particularly a nice guy. He expected a lot from his workers but thing is that he also cared for his workers, because he knew that not only were they dependent on him but also that he depended upon them, they were the ones due to which he was gaining popularity and success throughout America. Ford’s great strength was the manufacturing process for his cars. Instead of having people put together the entire car he created organized teams that added parts to the Model T as it moved down the assembly line, this lowered the production prices and also the time and energy required to put together the cars.
Feng Ru worked hard on improving aviation in China as it states in the story he “rarely finished work before 3 A.M”(Maskel). This quote shows that he worked tirelessly to be China’s aviator to impact his country. In Feng Ru’s story the Father of Chinese Aviation it states that “San Francisco’s massive earthquake and resulting fire forced him to relocate to Oakland instead”(Maskel). “Feng erected his workshop—a 10- by eight-foot shack”(Maskel). These quotes show that he was forced to deal with a small work space but he would not give up no matter what. Through all of Feng’s up’s and down’s he fought through it and became the father of Chinese aviation by working hard just like Melba Pattillo
Picture this, having to travel over 10,000 miles to get something you really wanted accomplished. This is one of the interesting points Mitch Kachun brings up about Mr. Wright in his essay “Major Richard R. Wright Sr. National Freedom Day, and the Rhetoric of Freedom in the 1940’s. In this essay he not only tells the very interesting story of Wright’s life but he also goes in details about everything that came up in his way and what he did to change the world and mold it to what we see today. One thing Kachun reminds us in this paper is to never forget or past and where we came from, because if we do we will repeat it. Also to pay our respects to a wonderful man who paved the way for us African American college students to be in the place that we are today.
Garrett Morgan was born in 1877 when it was a very hard time for black people to get jobs and money. Mr. Morgan was the first black man in Cleveland to own his own car. His father was half slave and half colonial. His race affected his career and life monumentally. Garrett morgan really had to push through racial adversity and hard times. He was only educated up to grade 6 and did not go to college. His first job was at a factory where he found out how much he was an innovator and an entrepreneur. He quickly learned how the machines worked and he started tinkering himself. He invented a traffic signal that was used by many people nationwide but he only ended up getting $40,000 profit from it. He did not get all of the money that he deserved for it. Garrett Morgan was most well known for making the very first gas mask. It was called the safety hood and covered your whole head. This invention did not sell well until he hired a white actor to pretend to be a salesman while Mr. Morgan was a native american chief. Mr. Morgan demonstrated how he could stay perfectly okay in a smoke
If someone wants to succeed in life and stay recognized by superiors, then he or she ought to appear hardworking. A person begins with setting goals. There are two categories, the first, “be” goals and the second, “do” goals. In other words, ask yourself, "What to be?" or "What to achieve?" Four categories of goals consist of wealth, health, relationships, and self-fulfillment which equal success. Working diligently to finish a task demonstrates how to live a successful life. Given these points, Thomas Edison, Helen Keller and Harriet Tubman, all exceptional achievers, found that prosperity undoubtedly comes along for everyone who perseveres.
Through gusto and bravado, Mitchell left his mark on American history. The image of a hot-headed pilot with an big ego continues in popular culture to this day. In even such a controlled environment as the United States Military, perhaps no one represented the wild, free, aspiring nature of flight better than William Mitchell.

During his lifetime he was known as the wealthier self-made man in the world. Howard Hughes’ riches directly and indirectly helped America’s economy flourish for many decades. For one, Hollywood films accounts for a portion of U.S goods and service revenues. Also, he created many job opportunities for men who could not seek job during the depression and beyond. Two, Hughes was known for spending excessively thought-out his life and more so towards he later adulthood. He purchased an entire Nevada hotel, after refusing to leave when asked. He became Navada’s biggest landlord. Hughes went on a one hundred million dollar buying spree; he bought casinos, local airport, and a television station. All of which helped expand America’s economy. Also,
In the end it's clear that Henry Ford did our country a very big survase and he did the right thing. Sticking with his ideas and standing by them the whole time and fighting for them. And coming out on top.
