when he decided to produce his v-8 motor, henry ford chose to make an eight- cylinder (汽缸) engine-block in one piece. but the engineers said that was impossible.
Ford said, "produce it anyway."
"but," they replied, "it is impossible."
"Go ahead," ford said, "and stay on the job until you succeed , no matter how much time is required."
six months passed and nothing happened. another six months passed, and still nothing happened, the engineers tried every possible plan to carry out (执行)the orders , but lire request (要求) seemed impossible.
at the end of the year, the engineers again informed ford they had found another way to carry out his orders.
"go right ahead," said ford. "i want it, and i'll have it."
they went ahead, and then, as if by a stroke (轻触) of magic, the secret was discovered. ford had won once more!
henry ford was successful because one of his principles of success is that he believe what he wants. if you can do this, you can equal (与……相当) your achievements in any calling for which you are suited.
