Henry Ford’s determination & Desire to achieve the Impossible
Ford made the decision to create his now-famous V-8 engine a few years ago. He asked his engineers to create a design for the engine after deciding to construct an engine with all eight cylinders cast in a single block. The concept was put on paper, but the engineers unanimously concluded that casting an eight-cylinder gas engine block in one piece was just not practical.
Ford urged producers to proceed.
They said, “But it’s impossible!”
Ford told them to proceed and continue working until they were successful, no matter how long it took.
The engineers moved forward. If they wanted to stay on the Ford crew, there was nothing else they could do. After six months, nothing changed.
Yet another six months went by with no change. The engineers explored every imaginable strategy to carry out the instructions, but it seemed impossible!
Ford checked with his engineers at the end of the year, and they once more told him they had been unable to carry out his instructions.
Ford responded, “Go right ahead. I want it, and I’ll have it.”
They continued, and the secret was eventually uncovered as if by magic.
Once again, the Ford DETERMINATION had prevailed!
