US Hawks Hang Gliding Association

The guy who designed the paraglider started out as an architect.

He got fired from his first job. "What am I going to do?" he asked himself.

He got a job with another architectural firm, but soon found himself on the street, again.

So he got a job with a security firm. "This is more like it!" he said.

So he branched out into access architecture for the handicapped.

"I love making things safer for people," he said.

He dabbled in home electronics for a while.

Then demand for his security innovations began to dwindle...

...so he got into real estate, buying small lots and building on them,

adding bathrooms

and solving problems through clever designs. "I can fix anything!" he said.

Then one day he realized he could double the utility of a bathroom with cheap modifications.

His clients loved his designs. "It's so pretty!" they said.

Realizing he was a genius, he began designing recreational equipment.

Then one day he was suddenly struck with the idea of designing a parachute that would go up.
The rest is history.

All great examples

Thought I was going to pass out from laughing so hard

Big Grin!
