            Henry Ford is an American. He was born on July 30, 1863, Greenfield, Township, Michigan, on his family’s farm. He died on April 7, 1947. He was the founder of Ford Motor Company, business management and an engineer as well. He was an en. .gineer at Edison Illuminating Company. Two years later, he became to a Chief Engineer. When Ford was 13 years old, his father gifted him a pocket watch, which the young boy promptly took apart and reassembled. Friends and neighbors were impressed, and requested that he fix their timepieces too.  At the age of 16, Ford left home to take an apprenticeship as a machinist in Detroit. In the years that followed, he would learn to skillfully operate and service steam engines, and would also study bookkeeping.
            When he was 25 years old, he married Clara Jane Bryant. They had one son. His name is Edsel Ford who was born on November 6, 1893. He returned to farming to support his wife and son, Edsel. But three years later, he was hired as an engineer for the Edison Illuminating Company, then he became to a Chief Engineer.  In 1896, Henry Ford experiments Quadricycle and test drove it on June 4. He got success and became the founder of Ford Motor Company in 1901. 

           Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, either way you’re right”. What does the quote mean? First, you think you can, you’re right, It means that if you get something in your mind that you can do something, you will try until you succeed. If you don't think you can do it. You won't accomplish it. For example, last semester I took ENF2 which is too hard for me. But I pushed myself and told myself,  I can do it and I will pass it. So that I try to study hard and try on my best to deal with this. I always keep the word “can” in my mind, because it is the key to make me passed this class. Second, I thought, I can’t do my Biology assignments. I read the lessons over and over, but I still can’t do it. Because I already thought, negative, it’s impossible. So that I didn’t have much energy to fight and I didn’t really try hard to do the assignments.
            Depending on both of my examples, I pretty much believe, what he said. The quote is really make sense and true in lifetime.
