(Excerpt) from my soon to be published self help book: *Awesome Success Principles and Quotations*
"Let’s look at Henry Ford, who in his early years began working on inventing a gas-driven engine. Ford had a study done by a leading college ...to see if the gas engine could be invented. After extensive study, the college’s technical department determined that the idea could not be done. A piston could not be made to move by gasoline-ignited power.
Henry Ford still believed he could build such an engine. He purchased his own parts and with help from his wife, he got the first makeshift piston powered by droplets of gasoline ignited by a spark. The rest is history.
The horses and the steam engines of the day were gradually replaced with the internal combustion engine in the early 1900s. Henry Ford then developed the first successful automobile assembly line, building cars faster than anyone had imagined.
A man with vision, determination, and fortitude, Henry Ford proved himself a true visionary who would not let his ideas be extinguished by the negativity and ridicule of others.
“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
—David Beckham
“Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward.”
--Henry Ford
“When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.”
--Henry Ford
Attitudes Of The Highly Successful
I have studied athletes and inventors, and businessmen who have achieved greatness against all odds. Some have failed miserably, lost everything, then have managed to come back from failure and achieved success far greater than many others. There are certain mindsets that these highly successful possess that I feel separate them from the crowd. They are:
• Never allowing failure to affect their intense drive to achieve that all-important goal.
• Accepting from the start that there will be hundreds, if not thousands of failures, before they succeed.
• Never allowing the negativity that others have about their goal to penetrate their thinking or deter them from their unending drive to make it to their finish line.
• Understanding that the “Impossible” has been achieved time and again by men with vision since the beginning of time.
• Never, ever allowing themselves to get sidetracked from that all-important goal at hand.
• Understanding that each and every failure is their stepping stone and brings them closer to achieving their goal.
“I never did anything worth doing by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident; they came by work.”
--Thomas Edison
“The inventor looks upon the world and is not contented with things as they are. He wants to improve whatever he sees, he wants to benefit the world; he is haunted by an idea. The spirit of invention possesses him, seeking materialization.”
--Alexander Graham Bell
““Do more than exist, live. Do more than touch, feel. Do more than look, observe. Do more than read, absorb. Do more than hear, listen. Do more than think, ponder. Do more than talk, say something.”
--John H. Rhoades Poet/Philosopher
**You Are the Greatest Living Miracle in the World**
No one else in the world has your exact eyes, hair, fingerprints, personality, or DNA. The odds of your being born into the specific person and personality you are have been estimated at one in 225 billion.
You are the most unique person in the world."
