The guy who designed the paraglider

Postby Rick Masters » Fri Jan 20, 2017 6:10 pm

The guy who designed the paraglider started out as an architect.
Image
He got fired from his first job. "What am I going to do?" he asked himself.
Image
He got a job with another architectural firm, but soon found himself on the street, again.
Image
So he got a job with a security firm. "This is more like it!" he said.
Image
So he branched out into access architecture for the handicapped.
Image
"I love making things safer for people," he said.
Image
He dabbled in home electronics for a while.
Image
Then demand for his security innovations began to dwindle...
Image
...so he got into real estate, buying small lots and building on them,
Image
adding bathrooms
Image
and solving problems through clever designs. "I can fix anything!" he said.
Image
Then one day he realized he could double the utility of a bathroom with cheap modifications.
Image
His clients loved his designs. "It's so pretty!" they said.
Image
Realizing he was a genius, he began designing recreational equipment.
Image
Then one day he was suddenly struck with the idea of designing a parachute that would go up.
The rest is history.
