Ford Racing Ø

He describes himself as someone who raced only because in the 1890s through 1910s, one had to race because prevailing ignorance held that racing was the way to prove the worth of an automobile.

Ø Ø Racing was one of the best way to bring his car to the people , as his car wins the sale also increases , That was the secret of his success that time Ø Ø Ford was inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in 1996. 

HENRY FORD SAYINGS § One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn't do.  § Don't find fault, Find remedy § Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you're right 

Thinking is the hardest work there is,

which is probably the reason why so few engage in it. There are no big problems, there are just

a lot of little problems. The only real security that a man can

have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience and ability.

Success is a matter of adjusting one's efforts to

obstacles and one's abilities to a service needed by others. Opportunities Failure is only the opportunity to begin again more intelligently. Victory: Failure is only the opportunity to more intelligently begin again. Overcoming Failure: Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently
