When Henry ford decided to produce his famous v-8 motor, he chose to build an
engine with the entire eight cylinders cast in one block, and instructed his
engineers to produce a design in one for the engine. The design was placed on
paper, but the engineers agreed, to a man, that it was simply impossible to cast
an eight-cylinder engine-block in one piece.
Ford said, “Produce it
anyway.”
“But,” they replied, “It’s impossible!”
“Go ahead.” Ford
commanded, “And stay on the job until you succeed, no matter how much time is
required.”
The engineers went ahead. There was nothing else for them to do,
if they were to remain on the ford staff. Six months passed and nothing
happened. Another six months passed, and still nothing happened. The engineers
tried every conceivable plan to carry out the orders, but the thing seemed out
of the question:“impossible!”
At the end of the year ford checked with his
engineers by belt
conveyor, and again they informed him they had found no way to carry out his
orders.
“go right head,” said ford, “I want it, and I’ll have it.”
They
went ahead, and then, as if by a stroke of magic, the secret was
discovered.
The ford determination had won once more!
This story may not
be described with minute accuracy, but the sum and substance of it is correct.
Deduce from it, you who wish to think and grow rich, the secret of the ford
millions, if you can. You’ll not have to look very far.
Henry ford was
successful, because he understood and applied the principles of success. One of
these is desire: knowing out the lines in which the secret of his stupendous
achievement have been described. If you can do this, if you can lay your finger
on the particular group of principles which made Henry ford rich, you can equal
his achievements in almost any calling for which you are suited.
