Henry Ford

     "Whether you think you can or can't... You're right."  Henry Ford.

     Among his many other incredible life achievements, Henry Ford was an author.  He didn't invent the automobile, nor the assembly line, but he saw the two and meshed them together to create an automobile most families could afford.  By industrializing assembly lines, he could pay employees more, and charge less for the finished product all while amassing a fat pocketbook.  He became a person of global interest, and wrote about his life in My Life and Work.  He was also a pacifist, and used his world fame to speak his mind about WWI.  Some of his work (The International Jew) was ill-received, and probably rightfully so, but he wrote his mind.  His work is standard reading in most business schools today.

     We all have the chance to be a "Henry Ford", but imagine what the world would be like if Ford had given in to that negative voice which plagues us all at one point or another saying, "You can't do that because..."?  How many other incredible ideas, inventions, etc. has the world been robbed of because of the, "I can't's"?  Are you a Henry Ford, or just another person who will only accomplish a small percentage of their dreams.  

     Whether you think you can or you can't you're right.  Push for what you want.  Don't let your hopeful inner child die because of the "real world".
