hero+essay-henry+ford

What is your definition of a hero? Mine is someone who people admire and look up to. A hero teaches people that if you set your mine to something, you can do it. My hero is Henry Ford. Henry Ford is a great example of a hero. Without Henry, our transportation probably wouldn't be as effictient orwithout him.

Henry Ford was born on July 30, 1863 near Detroit, Michigan. Henry Ford was trying to help people in his society by producing an easier method of transportation. The reason he was doing this was because when Henry recieved a pocket watch when he was a teenager by his father, Henry had a love for mechanics. By the age of fifteen he was considered a watch repairman. Henry's father created some materials and tools to help farm. That made him interested in mechanics even more. []

In 1891, Ford became an engineer with the Edison Illuminating Company. Then he was promoted to Chief in 1893.This was one of the most important thing that happened in his life. If he didn't work in this company, he would of have just given up on mechanics and would have not invented one of the most popular vehicals today. This allowed him to do what he loved every day. Also, the promotion to chief helped him because he needed the money to start his future inventions. Ford's parents impacted him as well because without their support of what he loved he probably wouldn't be where he is today. //**"Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success." - Henry Ford**// [|//**http://en.proverbia.net/citasautor.asp?autor=12562**//]

In 1893, Ford tried to change the society for greater good. He attempted to invent a new vehicle powered by gas. Henry Ford wanted this machine to help people by changing the way people get from place to place. He knew it was not going to be easy, but he did it anyway, which is what made him a hero. He used up all his time and he was very busy considering he was the chief on a company. After he completed the quadriycle, he sold it for $200 which was alot of money in the 19th century. After he started making money, Henry Ford increased the salaries of his workers. //**"The man who will use his skill and constructive imagination to see how much he can give for a dollar, instead of how little he can give for a dollar, is bound to succeed." - Henry Ford.**// Without Ford making these vehicle who knows how we would be getting around today.

I honestly think that everyone thought of Henry Ford as a nice guy, I can't see anyone not liking the man who invented one of the first gas powered vehicles. I think if someone did do something then they might have protested and tried to stop his work. Thomas Edison said. " I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." No matter how many times you fail, that just makes you become better. []

Henry Fords legacy is definitely Ford Motor Works. He built his first vehicle in 1893 when he was 30 years old. That mens that he tried and tried to make it work for a little more than half is life at the time. That is one of the top 5 best car makers in the world. I fhe had not pushed himself to invent a car, then there would not be any mustangs or motel t's. The word would be so different because other popular car makers like Chevy, wound not have to compete.

I think that if henry Ford was here today, he would tell people that it doesn't matter how many times you fail, all that matters is that one time you succeed. He would also say how he tried and tried for the beginning part of his life. Now look at it, Ford is one of the most popular car to drive today.
