However bridge building expertsthroughout the world thought that this was an impossiblefeat and told Roebling to forget the idea. It just could notbe done. It was not practical. It had never been donebefore.However, after much discussion and persuasion hemanaged to convince his son Washington, an upcomingengineer, that the bridge in fact could be built. Workingtogether or the first time, the father and son developedconcepts of how it could be accomplished and how theobstacles could be overcome. The project started well,but when it was only a few months underway a tragicaccident on the site took the life of John Roebling.Washington was injured and left with a certain amount ofbrain damage, which resulted in him not being able towalk or talk or even move.In spite of his handicap Washington was never discouragedand still had a burning desire to complete the bridge andhis mind was still as sharp as ever. It seemed that therewas a message for him not to give up. Suddenly an ideahit him. All he could do was move one finger and he decidedto make the best use of it. By moving this, he slowlydeveloped a code of communication with his wife.For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions withhis finger on his wife’s arm, until the bridge was finallycompleted. Today the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge standsin its glory as a tribute to the triumph of one man’sindomitable spirit and his determination not to be defeatedby circumstances.Perhaps this is one of the best examples of a never-saydieattitude that overcomes a terrible physical handicapand achieves an impossible goal. Often when we faceobstacles in our day-to-day life, our hurdles seem verysmall in comparison to what many others have to face.The Brooklyn Bridge shows us that dreams that seemimpossible can be realized with determination andpersistence, no matter what the odds are. We, the futureengineers have to cultivate this “NEVER-SAY-DIE” attitude.- N. KavyaEEE III year2525
