The Japanese Henry Ford

 

 Soichiro Honda was not the greatest in academics. He didn’t understand things taught in books, but mechanics he did understand.He worked in a garage where the owner, who was also a mechanic, fixed American cars. The owner did not trust Soichiro and would not let him touch the cars that he was working on. Soichiro wasn’t happy with the owner’s decision for him to only sweep the floor and was about to quit. But then, he had the idea of sweeping the floor until it was spotless and maybe then the owner would be impressed and show him how cars worked. Soichiro worked hard and the owner finally recognized his effort and dedication. After about a year or so, the owner finally started to teach Soichiro how to repair cars.

 In 1948, he established Honda and oversaw its expansion from a wooden shack manufacturing bicycle motors to a multinational automobile and motorcycle manufacturer.Honda remained president until his retirement in 1973, where he stayed on as director and was appointed "supreme advisor" in 1983. His status was such that People magazine placed him on their "25 Most Intriguing People of the Year" list for 1980, dubbing him "the Japanese Henry Ford." In retirement Honda busied himself with work connected with the Honda Foundation.
