As he shares in the film, at the end of his journey, Sam realized the most important thing he had discovered.
“As I thought about what my father had done, and then thinking also about the future, I came to the conclusion that we should not worry about whether we have lived up to the expectations of our fathers, but whether we, as fathers, have lived up to the expectations of our children.”
These words have become a sort of mantra for our company – for the impact we want to have, and the legacy we want to leave. They are carved on the wall of
Fortaleza Hall on our global headquarters campus, and the 1998 replica aircraft soars above them.
They remind us every day of the Carnaúba Expedition of 1998 and of Sam’s hopes for all of us: to explore new ideas, take risks, be energized in the pursuit of a dream, and to consider, always, the future generations who will follow.
