名人英語(yǔ)勵(lì)志故事：福特---知道自己要做的是什么[中英]
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.
ford said, “produce it anyway.”
