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, “Its 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, and again they informed him they had found no way to carry out his orders.
“go right head,” said ford, “I want it, and Ill 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. Youll 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.
亨利福特在要制造出名的v8汽缸引擎汽车时，曾指示他手下的工程师着手设计一种引擎，要把八个汽缸全放在一起。设计的纸上作业完成了，但是工程师们都异口同声地跟福特说，“要把八个汽缸全放在一起，压根是不行能。”
福特说：“无论如何都要做出来。”
他们又回答：“但是，那不行能啊!”
“动手做。”福特一声令下， “不论花多少时间，做到交差为止!”
工程师只得着手去做。假如他们还想呆在福特的公司里讨生活，就别无他途可行，值得去做。过了半年，没有动静。又过了半年，一样没有半点进展。工程师们试过了全部想得出来的方案去执行命令，结果仍旧是：“不行能!”
过了一年，福特的工程师们都没有进展，他们再次告知他，他们想不出有什么方法可以做到的指示。
“连续做，”福特说。“我要八汽缸引擎，就肯定要做到!”
他们连续努力，然后仿佛如有神助似的，做法出笼了。
福特的决心又打赢了一仗。
这个故事或许说的不够详尽，但是故事的内容却都是“如假包换”的。要想致富的你，从这个故事可以推算出福特百万家财的隐秘何在。务须舍近求远，就在眼前。

人生变幻，“富二代”成了鞋钉匠

The hardworking blacksmith Jones used to work all day in his shop and so hard working was he that at times he would make the sparks fly from his hammer.
琼斯是个特别勤劳的铁匠，经常一成天都在店里工作。他工作特别努力，他的铁锤下经常是火花飘舞。
The son of Mr. Smith, a rich neighbor, used to come to see the blacksmith everyday and for hours and hours he would enjoy himself watching how the tradesman worked.
邻居史密斯先生很有钱，他的儿子经常来看琼斯打铁。他喜爱看这位工匠工作，经常一看就是几个小时。
Young man, why dont you try your hand to learn to make shoe tacks, even if it is only to pass the time? said the blacksmith. Who knows, one day, it may be of use to you.
“年轻人，为什么不亲自尝试一下如何制作鞋钉呢，哪怕只是为了消磨时间?”铁匠说，“没准，有一天它会对你有关心。”
The lazy boy began to see what he could do. But after a little practice he found that he was becoming very skilled and soon he was making some of the finest tacks.
懒懒的孩子开头想看看自己究竟能做什么。然而，仅仅经过很短的练习，他便发觉自己特别娴熟起来，很快他就做出了最好的鞋钉。
Old Mr. Smith died and the son on account of the war lost all his goods. He had to leave home and was forced to take up residence in another country. It so happened that in this village there were numerous shoemakers who were spending a lot of money to buy tacks for their shoes and even at times when they paid high prices they were not always able to get what they wanted, because in that part of the country there was a high demand for soldiers shoes.
老史密斯先生去世了，而他的儿子则由于战斗的原因失去了全部的财产。他不得不离开家园，在另外一个国家住了下来。巧的是，这个国家的这个地区，急需大量军鞋，所以这个村子里有许多鞋匠，他们总是花费许多钱购买鞋钉。有时，即使付了很高的价钱，也买不到他们想要的鞋钉。
Our young Mr. Smith, who was finding it difficult to earn his daily bread, remembered that once upon a time he had learned the art of making tacks and had the sudden idea of making a bargain with the shoemakers. He told them that he would make the tacks if they would help to get him settled in his workshop. The shoemakers were only too glad of the offer. And after a while, Mr. Smith found that he was soon making the finest tacks in the village.
在这食不果腹的困难时刻，年轻的史密斯记起自己曾学过制鞋钉这门手艺，便突发奇想，想和这些鞋匠们做一个交易。他对他们说，假如他们可以关心他成立一个店铺，他就可以做鞋钉。鞋匠们对他的这一提议欣喜若狂。很快，史密斯发觉他做的鞋钉是村里面最好的。
How funny it seems, he used to say, even making tacks can bring a fortune. My trade is more useful to me than were all my former riches.
“这真是好玩，”他经常会说，“即便是做鞋钉也会带来财宝。与我以前全部的财宝相比，我现在做的事情对于我来说更有用。”
