巧遇智慧英文—我的前程近在咫尺(常速) “不可能”就是“可能”

[00:05]Out of the Question Is Possible [00:08]When Henry Ford decided to produce his famous V-8 motor, [00:12]he chose to build an engine with the entire eight cylinders cast in one block, [00:18]and instructed his engineers to produce a design in one for the engine. [00:23]The design was placed on paper, but the engineers agreed, to a man, [00:28]that it was simply impossible to cast an eight-cylinder engine-block in one piece. [00:32]Ford said, “Produce it anyway.” [00:35]“But,” they replied, “It’s impossible!” [00:38]“Go ahead,” Ford commanded, “and stay on the job until you succeed, [00:42]no matter how much time is required.” [00:44]The engineers went ahead. [00:47]There was nothing else for them to do, if they were to remain on the Ford staff. [00:51]Six months passed and nothing happened. [00:55]Another six months passed, and still nothing happened. [00:59]The engineers tried every conceivable plan to carry out the orders, [01:03]but the thing seemed out of the question: “impossible!” [01:07]At the end of the year Ford checked with his engineers, [01:11]and again they informed him they had found no way to carry out his orders. [01:16]“Go right ahead,” said Ford, “I want it, and I'll have it.” [01:20]They went ahead, and then, as if by a stroke of magic, the secret was discovered. [01:26]The Ford determination had won once more! [01:29]This story may not be described with minute accuracy, [01:33]but the sum and substance of it is correct. [01:36]Deduce from it, you who wish to think and grow rich, the secret of the Ford millions, if you can. [01:44]You'll not have to look very far. [01:47]Henry Ford was successful, because he understood and applied the principles of success. [01:54]One of these is desire: knowing what one wants. [01:58]Remember this Ford story as you read, and pick out the lines [02:03]in which the secret of his stupendous achievement have been described. [02:07]If you can do this, [02:10]if you can lay your finger on the particular group of principles which made Henry Ford rich, [02:14]you can equal his achievements in almost any calling for which you are suited.
