Henry Ford

Henry Ford was an automobile manufacturer. He was born on July 30, 1863 on his family's farm in Dearborn, Michigan. From the time he was a young boy, Ford enjoyed tinkering with machines. Farm work and a job in a Detroit machine shop afforded him ample opportunities to experiment. He later worked as a part-time employee for  the  company which named Westinghouse Engine Company. By 1896, Ford had constructed his first horseless carriage which he sold in order to finance work on an improved model. He was very simple and his young ages was very hard, he used to work extra hours and he used ti fix watches to earn money, because his income was very low. 

Ford Cars 
Ford incorporated the Ford Motor Company in 1903, proclaiming, "I will build a car for the great multitude." In October 1908, he did so, offering the Model T for $950. In the Model T's nineteen years of production, its price dipped as low as $280. Nearly 15,500,000 were sold in the United States alone. The Model T heralds the beginning of the Motor Age; the car evolved from luxury item for the well-to-do to essential transportation for the ordinary man.Ford's affordable Model T irrevocably altered American society. As more Americans owned cars, urbanization patterns changed. The United States saw the growth of suburbia, the creation of a national highway system, and a population entranced with the possibility of going anywhere anytime. Ford witnessed many of these changes during his lifetime, all the while personally longing for the agrarian lifestyle of his youth. In the years prior to his death on April 7, 1947, Ford sponsored the restoration of an idyllic rural town called Greenfield Village.
This is one of the latest and luxury car from Ford company. Henry Ford he was a just farmer`s son and became a founder of Ford company. Even if he had problems and unfair things, he didn`t stop. Life is a series of experiences, and each one makes us more bigger and stronger. As i understood from Ford`s life is money cannot help you to survive in this world. The only thing that helps you to survive is knowledge, experience and ability. Once he said " You cannot learn in school, what the world is going to do next year" so that`s why we should be able to survive in any situation.
