Henry Ford

Here is a quote by Henry Ford and one from Proverbs:

"Those who have never made a mistake usually work for those who have."-H. Ford

"He who brings trouble on his family will inherit only wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise."-Proverbs 11:29

It is no wonder Henry Ford was a successful man. He had it all figured out. He just didn't know it. Henry helped make the automobile industry what it is today. He did not do it by getting it right the first time. However he at least tried to do it right. I don't know much about him as a person, I just know he was one who gave his dream all he had and believed in doing it the right way. The only way for him to figure out what the right ways were to manufacturing a car was to have his share of bumps along the way. In the end he created a company and many will argue he created and entire industry. Henry is no different than all of us. We all have dreams that we want to achieve. Most of us ask ourselves many times daily, "What am I doing? This isn't what I pictured myself doing." Most of us will never fulfill our dreams because we are scared of failure. Failure only occurs when we have a fall and never get up...and LEARN! I hope if you read this it will help you and myself see that it is OK to take a chance and go for you dreams. You get one life and one chance. Give it a shot. You are going to mess up, just like in everything. There is not one thing you are good at in life that you haven't made mistakes so that you can learn a better way. You will mess up today and learn, don't you wish you were making these mistakes while you were doing what you love? If you are doing what you love, don't be afraid to mess up, because it is then you will earn wisdom.
