First Person@Moon:
Commander Neil Armstrong, US Navy; he is the 1st person to set his foot in moon.
But, do you know who was supposed to be the 1st person? Many don't know...
His name is Colonel Edwin C Aldarin...
He was the Chief Pilot for the Apollo mission. He was working for the US Air Force. Moreover he had experience of space walking, hence selected as the Chief Pilot.
Commander Neil Armstrong worked for the US Navy. He was selected for his courage as Second In Command & Co-pilot.
When the Apollo mission landed on moon, they received a command from NASA, "Chief Pilot First".
But Colonel Aldarin was hesitant, "what will happen", "will I get sucked in or will I burn out", etc. The hesitation was not for hours, but few seconds.
In the meantime, NASA sent the next command, "Co-Pilot next".
Within next second, Commander Neil Armstrong put his foot on the Moon & became part of World history.
World history was changed in 1 second... Though Colonel Aldarin had the qualification and talent, because of hesitation, he is not recognised by most people in the World.
The world remembers only person who comes first...
This is a good example of how good & talented people lose out because of hesitation & fear.
*Whenever you see the Moon, remember this*: a moments hesitation can stop us from our *greatest victory*.
*
We all have great potential* in us, the only thing that stops us from achieving what we are supposed to achieve is our hesitation, fear and shyness.
Many people are shy to ask, shy to appreciate others
Avoid Hesitation.... Accept/Pursue Challenges That No One Has Pursued in the Past, Think Big & Work Smart & Have a Great Life Ahead...
