知道自己要做的是什么，沒什么事情是不可能。下面是學(xué)習(xí)啦小編為大家?guī)碛⒄Z勵志美文：不可能”就是可能，希望大家喜歡!

　　When Henry ford decided to produce his famous v-8 motor, he chose to build an engine with the entire eight cylinders cast in one block, and instructed his engineers to produce a design in one for the engine. The design was placed on paper, but the engineers agreed, to a man, that it was simply impossible to cast an eight-cylinder engine-block in one piece.

　　亨利福特在要制造有名的v8汽缸引擎汽車時，曾指示他手下的工程師著手設(shè)計一種引擎，要把八個汽缸全放在一起。設(shè)計的紙上作業(yè)完成了，但是工程師們都異口同聲地跟福特說，“要把八個汽缸全放在一起，壓根是不可能。”

　　Ford said, “Produce it anyway.”

　　福特說：“無論如何都要做出來。”

　　“But,” they replied, “It’s impossible!”

　　他們又回答：“但是，那不可能啊!”

　　“Go ahead.” Ford commanded, “And stay on the job until you succeed, no matter how much time is required.”

　　“動手做。”福特一聲令下， “不論花多少時間，做到交差為止!”

　　The engineers went ahead. There was nothing else for them to do, if they were to remain on the ford staff. Six months passed and nothing happened. Another six months passed, and still nothing happened. The engineers tried every conceivable plan to carry out the orders, but the thing seemed out of the question:“impossible!”

　　工程師只得著手去做。如果他們還想呆在福特的公司里討生活，就別無他途可行，值得去做。過了半年，沒有動靜。又過了半年，一樣沒有半點進(jìn)展。工程師們試過了所有想得出來的計劃去執(zhí)行命令，結(jié)果仍然是：“不可能!”

　　At the end of the year ford checked with his engineers, and again they informed him they had found no way to carry out his orders.

　　過了一年，福特的工程師們都沒有進(jìn)展，他們再次告訴他，他們想不出有什么辦法可以做到的指示。

　　“go right head,” said ford, “I want it, and I’ll have it.”

　　“繼續(xù)做，”福特說。“我要八汽缸引擎，就一定要做到!”

　　They went ahead, and then, as if by a stroke of magic, the secret was discovered.

　　他們繼續(xù)努力，然后仿佛如有神助似的，做法出籠了。

　　The ford determination had won once more!

　　福特的決心又打贏了一仗。

　　This story may not be described with minute accuracy, but the sum and substance of it is correct. Deduce from it, you who wish to think and grow rich, the secret of the ford millions, if you can. You’ll not have to look very far.

　　這個故事也許說的不夠詳盡，但是故事的內(nèi)容卻都是“如假包換”的。要想致富的你，從這個故事可以推算出福特百萬家財?shù)拿孛芎卧?。?wù)須舍近求遠(yuǎn)，就在眼前。

　　Henry ford was successful, because he understood and applied the principles of success. One of these is desire: knowing what one wants. Remember this Ford story as you read, and pick out the lines in which the secret of his stupendous achievement have been described. If you can do this, if you can lay your finger on the particular group of principles which made Henry ford rich, you can equal his achievements in almost any calling for which you are suited.

　　亨利福特了解成功的原則，也運用了這些原則，所以他成功了。這些原則中，有一項就是渴望：知道自己要做的是什么。閱讀這篇文章時，請牢記這則福特的故事，時時在字里行間尋找他了不起的原因。只要你能做到，能正確無誤地指認(rèn)出福特所運用的原則，就幾乎可以在適合自己的任何行業(yè)里，和他一樣地出類拔萃。
