My Life and Work

I. The Ideas of Business: My Life and Work


II. Title: My Life and Work, Author: Henry Ford,1922, Published by CruGuru


III.  The plot of this autobiography was the ideas of business and the way it was ran in Henry Ford eyes. What he wrote was his own opinions but where strong opinion that where supported by facts based on the real world. He wrote many strong ideas that I agreed when I read them. One of them was that people work for only the money and don't put their full effort. He also wrote that an average man looking for a job always wants the easiest job and if he can't do it without a machine it would not be done at all. Since Ford thought about these things he of course would not let this would happen in his business. That why Ford was so successful because he was a hard working man and did things others thought where impossible. He invented the first automobile and always found ways to make it better. 
        There where not many characters that where named in his autobiography. He just referred to the people and the workers in his time he didn't really mention any names. But he lived in Detroit Michigan where the first automobile was made. This story took place during the years 1879-1921 but the auto biography where mostly based on the years of 1890-1900 where the Ford company was because known around the world and his business really took off.


IV. "Everything is possible..."faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."(Ford 164).


V.  This quote is what Ford thought and what made him be so successful. He strive to make the impossible possible and that is what him be so successful. In this section he was describe what the future may hold and what business would be like in the future. This quote is what Ford believed in and what inspired him in making the first car and many other things as well. He made the impossible possible and that's what he wants others to do.
