Some other titans you may want to read about who achieved great success through sheer force of will:
- Frank Robinson, Founder, Robinson Helicopters (#1 helicopter manufacturer in the world by unit sales)
- Chuck Yeager: "The X-1 wasn't a plane. Chuck Yeager was the X-1." (The world's first and only combined test pilot/rocket mechanic. That combination was needed to break the sound barrier and survive.)
- the Florida airport consultant/GM who saved San Jose from bankruptcy by saving $2 billion in overruns on Terminal 3.
