Words can have different interpretations depending on the person. One quote may have more of an impact than others. Everyone is influenced in a different way, so each quote will have a different importance. During hard times, these quotes give us guidance and reassurance that the struggle will soon diminish. We all have days that seem like the entire world is on our back, and everything we do is wrong. On these days, I often find myself reading a quote by Henry Ford. He said, “When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.” Henry Ford was a man who was determined to change the world; he created the Ford Model T and developed the assembly line. He was a man who truly understood what …show more content…
determination and perseverance meant. Although this quote is not well known, it is one that stands out to me.
I have also had several opportunities to share this quote with my friends. Nearly everyone that I have shared Henry’s wise words with have said they enjoy it as well. They have said that they remember the words and that it has helped them on difficult days to keep persevering. Henry Ford’s quote has inspired and encouraged me through difficult times to never give up. The hard times in my life have challenged and shaped me; these times have helped me to become a better person by forcing me to continue on through challenges. It will continue to inspire me into the future by reminding me that something difficult is not impossible, but it is merely a challenge. When I am struggling to succeed, I remember Ford’s quote and I continue to work because I know there will soon be an end to the struggle. Each person has their own challenges they face everyday. We also have a choice to make along with the struggles and that choice is our response to the challenge. The quotes we love inspire us in different ways and hold a different value. Some are humorous, while some are more serious. No matter the type of quote, it inspires us to keep
persevering.
There are many inspiring quotes in, "I Beat the Odds" by Michael Oher, but one especially stood out to me. In the beginning of the book, Michael discuss his life in Hurt Village and describes how hard his life was he says, "The odds are stacked against you, but you can't let that be an excuse, you have too much to promise to let the odds beat you. It can be done. I beat the odds"(13). This quote made it really clear to me that I shouldn't let someone break me apart or tell me what I can and cannot do because of how I might look, this quote tells me that I can do anything I set my mind into doing. I will also apply this to my life by not making excuses if I can't do something, I will use this knowledge by doing anything that is a challenge,
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts”
Henry Ford was a captain of industry. He owned Ford Motors, which was an automobile company. Ford was a man who always wanted his own way and he got it most of the time. The creation he is most famous for is the FORD MODEL T, the car for the commoners. His car became an instant hit amongst the people- the local people and the working class of people because it was very affordable and was not just for the rich. Ford was a very successful businessman but not particularly a nice guy. He expected a lot from his workers but thing is that he also cared for his workers, because he knew that not only were they dependent on him but also that he depended upon them, they were the ones due to which he was gaining popularity and success throughout America. Ford’s great strength was the manufacturing process for his cars. Instead of having people put together the entire car he created organized teams that added parts to the Model T as it moved down the assembly line, this lowered the production prices and also the time and energy required to put together the cars.
Behind every great business these us a great vision from the founder. We all know or should know that the future hold for us. Henry Ford was one of them people that had a great vision for the future. He was for the Americans with average incomes. He a vision to change the way we get around in our everyday lives. Mr. Ford was born on a farm in (birthplace). Where he spent his time indulging into his engineering efforts on the farm by working on ways to work smarter and not harder. Henry Ford did not like working on the farm as he was coming up because he found the work very tedious. His parents put a work bench in the house so Henry could study things such as a watches. He would take something a part such a watch and analyzed the inner moving
“The unexamined life is not worth living” and “Life is about the journey, not the destination.” I relate to both of this quotes because we all have purpose in our life. We plan out life to be certain way. I plan week in advance so I know what is going to happen this week, what is in plate that I have to take care of it before the time. You need to be control on your life not others. Some people just float though life. They think of their present but they don’t think for their future. They just do the stuff right now and later they will worry about other stuff. They are never ready for future outcome. Only you know how you want to live your life, it’s up to you how you want live it. As I say I plan week ahead for my classes, my work and my family. But it doesn’t always go as it planned. In life you always have to be ready to face some problem. If you live through the problems that is call living life. My dad always tells me that, if you accept the challenge, or face some bad time with smile on face, you will always come out of there and then even the big problems comes you will be ready for it. Don’t ever get nervous for the small problems. Life is made of good time and bad
This quote helped me feel better and concentrate for my better future. I just want the people that read this to know everyone goes through hardships, and there is an ending to the pain and sadness you feel now. I’ve come to realize sulking won’t get me anywhere and I need to move on and become who I want to be, and this quote helped me do
Henry Ford is responsible for “perhaps the most revolutionary development in industrial history.” (Watts 2005,
Meryl Davids is a professional writer/editor with an education from the University of Pennsylvania. With an outstanding twenty plus years of experience under her belt, Davids has work featured in magzines and journals such as: U.S. News & World Report, Wall Street Journal, and The Journal of Business Strategy. In this article Davids brings to our attention the successfulness of Henry Ford as well as the some of the struggles he faced trough out his life. Davids lets us know right from the start that Ford was a smart man and he knew that time was money. Ford states, “Time loves to be wasted.” The solution to this was a large-scale assembly line. With the successfulness of the assembly line and the money Ford was saving he double the wages of his employees from $2.50 to $5 overnight as
I love the quote “When the going gets tough the tough get going.” because it is so very true. We all have hard times its just how we decide to deal with them that counts. One very big aspect of our lives that i think can get very hard to deal with is our own love life. Lifes greatest prize is love as they say and sometimes it’s not the easiest thing ever. But we work for it because its so rewarding and all great things take hard work. Another quote that I love is “the course of love never did run smooth.”. Shakespeare shows this quote very well in a bunch of his plays because no one that was ever in love had it easy. There are many examples of this in his The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night;s Dream. In Shakespeare's Midsummer Night’s Dream three ways that love does not run smooth is because of other people, society, and because it takes hard work.
The 1920’s was a time of great social, political, and economic change. The early automobile industry was no exclusion. It appears that throughout history, the figures that stand out the most are either worshipped or despised, and there is very rarely an in-between. Henry Ford, an icon of the 1920’s and the early automobile industry is no exemption. Many people love Ford for his innovative and entrepreneurial skills, while on the other hand, Ford is disliked by many due to his association with Anti-Semitism. Regardless of how Ford is viewed, many decisions he made significantly impacted the automobile industry. These decisions included installing the moving assembly line in his plant, and introducing the Five-Dollar Day. Through the implementation of the Five-Dollar Day, Ford was able to drastically change how the Ford Motor Company company operated, and how business would operate for years to come.
“That which does not kill us makes us stronger”. (Nietzsche, 1888) The saying comes from the “Maxims and Arrows” section of Nietzsche’s book, Twilight of the Idols. I don’t always believe in every quote from a philosopher. I don’t believe in this quote by Nietzsche, because I think hardships’ effects are different for everyone. Yes, in various cases people come out stronger, but there are always those who come out weaker. Although I appreciate the uplifting motivational quote, I do not agree it much like how I wont agree with many other quotes in my philosophy. I have a devotion to share my philosophy covering the independence of “free will” to the imperfection of purpose.
There are people who believe that there is someone bigger than themselves who is above them “pulling the strings”. In the novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, the people of the World State look up to a God figure who they call Ford. Huxley used Ford in reference to the Ford Model T which was starting production around the time that the this book was being written. Aldous Huxley is using this term of “Ford” in a mocking way. The inventor of the ford Model T is Henry Ford, who can be seen as an appropriate God figure for the World State in this novel. This is because of the events in and the way that Ford lived his life.The way he shows his stubbornness, thinks of work in a positive way, and seems to know his role in society from the beginning
Henry Ford, the man who revolutionized the car industry forever, founded his company under the beliefs that a car wasn’t a high-speed toy for the rich but instead a sturdy vehicle for everyday family needs, like driving to work, getting groceries or driving to church. However, Henry ford did much more than just this feat. He also tried to make peace in WWI before America had joined the war. In addition, Ford made the radical new five dollars a day payment. However, Ford also had his lows. At an early age, his mother died. His first two companies had also been failures. Against many of his closest friends protests, he published an anti-semitic (Jewish) newspaper. Ford had a very interesting and unique life and he changed the automotive industry forever.
When Henry Ford was born on June 30th, 1863, neither him nor anyone for that matter, knew what an important role he would take in the future of mankind. Ford saw his first car when he was 12. He and his father where riding into Detroit at the time. At that moment, he knew what he wanted to do with his life: he wanted to make a difference in the automobile industry. Through out his life, he achieved this in an extraordinary way. That is why he will always be remembered in everyone’s heart. Whenever you drive down the road in your car, you can thank all of it to Henry Ford. Through his life he accomplished extraordinary achievements such as going from a poor farm boy to a wealthy inventor who helped Thomas Edison. When he was a young man, he figured out how to use simple inventions, such as the light bulb. He then taught himself the design of a steamboat engine. His goal was to build a horse-less carriage. He had come up with several designs and in 1896, he produced his first car, the Model A. When Ford’s first car came out, he had been interviewed by a reporter and when asked about the history of the car, he had said “History is more or less bunk.” Ford worked in Thomas Edison’s factory for years and the left to become an apprentice for a car-producer in Detroit. While working there, he established how he was going to make the car.
