Did you know that 🤔🤔🤔

“They called me a failure, a dreamer, even ‘weird’… but that ‘weird’ changed the world with just 140 characters.” 💻🧠

I grew up in St. Louis with an obsession nobody got: tracking taxis and ambulances live on a map. By 15, I’d built my own system. While classmates played ball or partied, I was glued to my screen. I felt like an outsider—isolated, misunderstood. 🗺️💔

I didn’t fit in, even at my own startup. They kicked me out of the company I founded because I was too quiet, too obsessed with code. I was crushed, but I vowed: if I ever come back, I’d be stronger, wiser, and truly free. ⚡🧩

Twitter wasn’t dreamed up in a glitzy office—it started in a tiny, sweltering room. Our crazy idea? Let people share real-time updates with the world. At first, they laughed. Then, during natural disasters, protests, concerts, people used it to connect and inform—and I knew we’d built something monumental. 🌍📱

Even after Twitter blew up, they booted me again—out of my own creation. Watching millions use what I built while I stood outside was brutal. I cried, I hit rock bottom, but I refused to quit. Years later, I returned not as a coder, but as the leader the company needed. 🎯🧨

“Don’t underestimate being different. Often the ones who don’t fit in anywhere… end up redefining the world.” 🧠💬

😎✈️ “I didn’t invent sunglasses... I invented a shield for the eyes of those flying between life and death.”

My name is John MacCready, and this all began in 1929 — with a friend who returned from a flight nearly blind from the sun. As a pilot, I knew what it meant to stare into the sky unprotected. I didn’t want a fashion accessory.
I wanted a solution.
I wanted to save eyesight.

That’s when the idea was born.
That’s how Ray-Ban began. 🛩️🕶️

I turned to Bausch & Lomb for help. They laughed. They slammed doors in my face.
"Special sunglasses just for pilots? Ridiculous," they said.

But I didn’t stop.
I crashed meetings. I sent telegrams. I insisted.

And when I finally got the chance to speak — I lit the room on fire with my passion.
We spent years on prototypes. The first models? Hideous. But we didn’t give up. We improved, refined, redesigned.

1936 — our breakthrough: green lenses, gold frame.
They landed in the hands of military pilots.
And soon… the world followed. 🌍🕶️

Then came mass demand. Knock-offs. World War II.
But Ray-Ban already stood for something more.
Not fashion.
Function with identity. Purpose with vision.

So next time you wear Ray-Bans, remember —
You’re not just putting on glasses.
You're wearing a legacy of perseverance, of daring to focus where others looked away. 👁️🛫

“People will tell you your dream already exists, that it’s not needed. But if what you’re building answers a real need — insist. Even if no one sees it yet.
The greatest ideas never look clear... until someone dares to bring them into focus.”

Toronto, 1922.

Imagine a hospital room filled with beds, each occupied by a child in a diabetic coma. Grief-stricken parents gather silently, bracing themselves for the inevitable—acidosis, a diagnosis considered a death sentence at the time.

But hope arrives.

A team of scientists, led by Frederick Banting, enters the room. They carry syringes filled with an experimental extract called insulin, the first of its kind. With cautious optimism, they move from bed to bed, administering injections to each child. Tension fills the room; even the doctors’ hands tremble. Parents watch uncertainly, daring to believe in miracles.

Then, something extraordinary happens.

The first child opens his eyes. Then another. And another. One by one, the children awaken, transforming the room's despair into joyous relief.

On that historic day, humanity didn't just discover a new medication—we witnessed science bring children back to life.

Frederick Banting and his team wrote one of the most remarkable chapters in medical history, giving millions around the world a second chance at life.
