My brother and I were in Orlando Florida to witness our first Space Shuttle Launch. The Discovery was 36 to soar at 10:14 AM on a blue sky September day. I’d seen it 37 so many times on television, 38 now I was only minutes away from seeing it launch. And it’s the final demonstration of the 39 of success: Success Takes Off Like a Rocket.

Witnessing the Take Off:

Standing close to the Space Shuttle 40 home one unforgettable point—the Shuttle is the height of a 15-story building—it 41 4.5 million pounds—and NASA is trying to lift it 200 miles off the ground. On TV the accomplishments look so much 42 , so much easier.

Crowds of people are standing around with you to watch the Shuttle go. The countdown begins through the small 43 of hundreds of portable radios all tuned to the NASA station. It’s enough to get your heart beating 44 .

When time is up, the side booster rockets are lit up and the eight explosive bolts 45 . The first things you see are large white 46 clouds exploding away. Through the steam, you see the fire power. Then the Space Shuttle begins to inch off the pad and climb its way 47 . Thousands upon millions of pounds of 48 can hardly lift the shuttle at all. But with ever increasing ease, the shuttle picks up and roars into the sky, headed into space attaining a 49 of over 17,000 mph.

It is within the first two minutes to launch the Space Shuttle that the great success lesson is 50 . Fact: 85% of the shuttle’s fuel is consumed within the first 2 minutes just to get the 15-story super structure to its orbital 51 .

And that’s exactly how success 52 : The first steps you take towards launching a successful career are the 53 and will require an enormous consumption of energy—a great big push. However, 54 you persist through the launch period, which can seem almost 55 for quite some time, everything gets easier and easier and your results get bigger and bigger.

“12 Years a Slave” was better over space thriller “Gravity” from Mexican filmmaker Alfonso Cuaron, which nevertheless got the most Oscars of the night with seven, including the best director honor for Cuaron, a first for a Latin American director.The film starring Sandra Bullock as an astronaut lost in space swept the technical awards like visual effects and cinematography, a reward for its groundbreaking work on conveying space and weightlessness.
