Henry Ford was born on a farm on July 30th, 1863. The farm was near the city of Detroit.

Henry was always interested in machines. He enjoyed fixing clocks.And he helped repair farm equipment. When Henry was sixteen years old, he left the family farm and went to Detroit to learn more about machines. Henry used what he learned from work to develop engines. In 1903, he was ready to start building cars for the public. On July 15th, 1903, a man named Doctor Pfenning bought the first car from the Ford Motor Company.

The sale to Doctor Pfenning was the beginning of a huge number of requests for Ford cars.By the end of March, 1904, almost 600 Ford cars had been sold. At the start of 1905, the Ford Motor Company was producing 25 cars each day.

Henry Ford was sure the future of the automobile industry was in a low-priced car for the general public. He said then, and many times after,“I want to make a car that anybody can buy.”

In 1907, Henry Ford said: "I will build a motor car for the great mass of people. 1t will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for. It will be built of the best materials. It will be built by the best men to be employed. And it will be built with the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce. It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one.”

My father suffered a disease once, but he was an optimist(乐天派).He wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he became a volunteer at a children's hopital. Sometimes one or two kids would die. At this time he would tell the heart-broken parents of the children that he would be with their children in heaven and that he would look after them there.

There was a girl with a disease that paralyzed(瘫痪)her from the neck down. She couldn't do anything. My dad decided to help her with his true love. He started visiting her, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He began to put the paintbrush in his mouth to paint. He didn't use his hands. He would visit her whenever he could and paint for her. "You can do anything once you make up your mind to do it,”he said. Finally, she began to paint using her mouth, too.

Later, my dad recovered and returned to work. He worked at the volunteer counter in the hospital. One day, he noticed the front door open. In came the little girl who had been paralyzed. She was walking! She hugged my dad tightly and gave him a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read: "Thank you for helping me walk again!”
