Book Review: The Wright Brothers by David McCullough

• The Old Jarhead provides career advice from his extensive corporate and military experience. • A book review is featured this month on "The Wright Brothers" by David McCullough, which provides lessons for career success. • Orville and Wilbur Wright, bike shop owners in Ohio, developed one of the first navigable airplanes after studying flight and its mechanics. • To be successful in a career, one must have a passion as well as talent for the job with a potential market to make money off it. • The Wright Brothers had both the passion and the talent necessary and saw potential in the aviation industry's potential market. • The Wright Brothers also realized that control is just as important as power for taking a machine into flight. • Careers can be made more rewarding if one takes control rather than simply pushing ahead with hard work.
