In 1938, “Sochiro” was a poor young man .. and all he wished was to sell one of the spare parts that he designed to Toyota, which is a very big dream for a young man in his prime. As you can see, he will make a lot of effort in designing these And as soon as it was finished, he went to the Toyota factory to fulfill his dream and sell it to them, but the Toyota factory refused, after that he tried again and stayed up at night trying to modify this piece, so he succeeded and Toyota finally bought it from him, saving money with our friend, so he decided to establish a factory that produces spare parts Cars at that time, the Japanese government was preparing for war, and concrete materials were not available. Our friend could not build his factory.
Do you know what our friend did?
He decided that he and his friends would invent a concrete mixture of their own making ... to build the factory he dreamed of !!! imagine? He was really able to manufacture it and was able to build his factory, which actually started producing and generating money for all of them..but during the war the American planes bombed our friend's factory ... and destroyed most of it.
Did he feel a failure then?
He left the factory immediately ... and ordered his employees to try to find out where these planes land in order to change their fuel..and he ordered them to take this fuel because it would benefit them in the manufacturing process..they do not find the necessary raw materials !!!
Is the story over ??
No .. our friend could To rebuild the factory and start production again..but..it was struck by a terrible earthquake that demolished the factory again… Our friend sold the right to manufacture to Toyota. He had lost all his possessions and was no longer able to continue with the idea of the factory..Japan was suffering after the war from a terrible fuel crisis..to the extent that it was distributing fuel to citizens in equal shares ... but it was not enough for our friend to just drive his car to the market to buy The needs of his family..the fuel was not sufficient for him and he was not able to move his car freely as it was in the past..then our friend decided to try a nice idea .. he had a lawn mowing machine .. he removed its motor and put him in a bicycle that he had..and it was the first A motorcycle in the world !!! People liked the idea .. and they asked him to make one for them .. he made so many of these bikes that he thought about commercializing them .. So he sent to all the bike shops to tell them the idea..and many of them agreed .. he expected to earn Millions of this project..but this did not happen..People refused to use this invention due to its weight at the time and its large exaggerated size..then he decided to develop his invention .. he started adjusting and adjusting its measurements..till he succeeded in the end .. he made millions and millions From this invention ..
he won the Emperor’s Prize for his effective contributions to society .. he established his factory, which is considered one of the largest factories around the world. Didn't he set up the (Honda) Automobile Factory ... !! That man's name is “Soichiro Honda”?
What do we gain from this story?
If you observe the lives of successful people, you will know that the concept of failure for them differs radically from the concept of failure for them.
An important rule: There is no failure .. There is an experience we learned from.
There is no failure in life .. Life is full of experiences that we must go through in order to learn .. ”
