　　亨利福特在要制造有名的v8汽缸引擎汽车时,曾指示他手下的工程师着手设计一种引擎,要把八个汽缸全放在一起.设计的纸上作业完成了,但是工程师们都异口同声地跟福特说,“要把八个汽缸全放在一起,压根是不可能.”

　　福特说：“无论如何都要做出来.”

　　他们又回答：“但是,那不可能啊!”

　　“动手做.”福特一声令下,“不论花多少时间,做到交差为止!”

　　工程师只得着手去做.如果他们还想呆在福特的公司里讨生活,就别无他途可行,值得去做.过了半年,没有动静.又过了半年,一样没有半点进展.工程师们试过了所有想得出来的计划去执行命令,结果仍然是：“不可能!”

　　过了一年,福特的工程师们都没有进展,他们再次告诉他,他们想不出有什么办法可以做到的指示.

　　“继续做,”福特说.“我要八汽缸引擎,就一定要做到!”

　　他们继续努力,然后仿佛如有神助似的,做法出笼了.

　　福特的决心又打赢了一仗.

　　这个故事也许说的不够详尽,但是故事的内容却都是“如假包换”的.要想致富的你,从这个故事可以推算出福特百万家财的秘密何在.务须舍近求远,就在眼前.

　　亨利福特了解成功的原则,也运用了这些原则,所以他成功了.这些原则中,有一项就是渴望：知道自己要做的是什么.阅读这篇文章时,请牢记这则福特的故事,时时在字里行间寻找他了不起的原因.只要你能做到,能正确无误地指认出福特所运用的原则,就几乎可以在适合自己的任何行业里,和他一样地出类拔萃.

　　有点长,有没有特别特别短的啊,我做ppt用，用一篇幅那么多就行
