Neil Armstrong is the first person to set his
foot in moon. But, do you know who was supposed to be the first
person? Many don't know...His name is Edwin C Aldarin...He was the pilot for the Apollo mission. He was
working for the American Airforce. Moreover he had experience of space walking,
hence selected as the pilot.
Neil Armstrong worked for the American Navy. He was
selected for his courage as Co-pilot. When the Apollo mission landed on moon, they
received a command from NASA, "Pilot first".But Aldarin was hesitant, thinking about "What will
happen", "will I get sucked in or will I burn out? ". The
hesitation was not for hours, but few seconds.
In the meantime, NASA sent the next command,
"Co-pilot next". Within next second, Neil Armstrong put his foot
on the moon & became part of world history.
World history was changed in one second... Though
Aldarin had the qualification and talent, because of hesitation, he is not recognised by many people.
The world remembers only the first, person who comes
first...
This is a good example of how people lose out because of hesitation & fear.
Whenever you see the moon, remember this, a moment’s 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.That kills the Courage in you.
