Henry Ford was the founder of the Ford Motor Company and known for the development of the assembly line technique of mass production. Although Henry Ford did not invent the automobile, he manufactured a car affordable enough for the middle-class.
He is well-known for his success but had many failures along the way. He is also known for his many quotes about being successful:
“If you think you can do a thing or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.”
“It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste.”
“One of the greatest discoveries one makes is to find we can do what we were afraid we couldn’t do.”
“Vision without execution is just hallucination.”
We can follow this example:
- Notice how important your thoughts are about the way you describe a task to yourself … “I can do this if I put in the work” as opposed to “I’ll not be able to…”
- Have a “stick to it” attitude, even when things get hard.
- Make discipline to study a habit, even when you don’t feel like it.
- Visualise/imagine yourself completing tasks, assignments, and assessments successfully and match your study habits to this picture of “believing in yourself”.
- See things as challenges to overcome, rather than obstacles that block.
