绝不放弃！

3/8/2019

Automobile genius Henry Ford once came up with a revolutionary plan for a new kind of engine which we know today as the V-8. Ford was eager to get his great new idea into production. He had some men draw up the plans, and presented them to the engineers. As the engineers studied the drawings, one by one they came to the same conclusion. Their visionary boss just didn’t know much about the fundamental principles of engineering. He’d have to be told gently—his dream was impossible.

Ford said, “Produce it anyway.” They replied, “But it’s impossible.” “Go ahead,” Ford commanded, “and stay on the job until you succeed, no matter how much time is required.”

For six months they struggled with drawing after drawing, design after design. Nothing. Another six months. Nothing. At the end of the year Ford checked with his engineers and they once again told him that what he wanted was impossible. Ford told them to keep going. They did. And they discovered how to build a V-8 engine.

When we don’t quit, anything is possible.

汽车界天才亨利•福特提出过一个创新计画，要发明一种新的引擎，就是今天为人所知的V-8引擎。福特渴望把这个伟大的新点子投入生产。他让画图员起草了计画，交给汽车设计师。汽车设计师们逐一研究图样，得出同样的结论：他们这位有远见的老闆对汽车设计的基本原则瞭解不多。他们必须温和地告知他：他的梦想是不可能实现的。

福特说，“无论如何都要生产它。”他们回答说，“可这是不可能的。”“还是去做吧，”福特命令道，“不管需要多少时间，就是要继续研究下去，直到你们成功为止。”

花了6个月时间，他们绘画又再绘图、设计又再设计，结果什么也没完成。再过了6个月，也是一事无成。到了年底，福特与他的汽车设计师们研讨状况，他们再次告诉他，他渴望的引擎是不可能制造的。福特告诉他们继续研究下去。结果他们做到了，发现了如何制造V-8引擎。

当我们不放弃时，任何事情都有可能发生。
