On December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers, (Orville and Wilber) achieved first sustained air flight of 120 feet at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina with their flying machine. That day they didn't test a supersonic jet plane. It was a humble biplane made with wood and canvas.
This is how life works. The concept may be a spark of genius. But the execution usually begins simply, with many frustrations. It is improved through time with patience and effort. When I was in high school, many years ago, I was told that you don't begin proficiently playing the five-string banjo the first time you sit down and try. If you really want to get good, it takes practice and time.
So, for whatever task or job you take on, don't be discouraged or give up when you are fraught with setbacks. If you really wish to succeed, be patient and consoled that air flight as we know it now, all began with a small biplane held together with glue and bailing wire.
