Ford is 16 years younger than Edison. These two great men have a lot in common. Both of them were ready to learn all the time, and they had great interest in solving problems. Besides, they both have determination to succeed. We should learn from them, right?
比爱迪生晚出生16年的美国汽车大王亨利?福特的童年、少年有许多与爱迪生相似的地方。享利?福特也出生在离底特律市不很远的迪尔木村。父亲是一个生活宽裕的小农场主。小福特自幼就喜欢将家里的钟表一只接一只的拆开。拆开之后再照原样重新装好。拆了装、装了拆,从不厌倦。自家的钟表全拆遍后就开始去拆左邻右舍的。就连上小学了,小福特上课时也将书本竖在课桌上,躲在书本之后继续进行他喜爱的钟表匠的活计。不断地拆装,使小福特掌握了许多钟表的机械原理,从而小小年纪就可以为村里的人们修理各式钟表了。
也是在儿时,小福特看到工人们修筑水堤,于是就画了一张草图,和小伙伴们一起在村里的水渠中筑了一条土坝,但筑坝之后忘了将土坝拆掉,结果水渠改道淹了村民的庄稼地,闯下了大祸。也是在12岁那年,小福特生平第一次看到了不用马拉动的蒸汽车。他惊奇之极,围着汽车看了又看,提出了一连串的问题。当小福特明白了是煤将水烧开产生蒸汽,蒸汽以其自身的力量推动车轮转动时,他表现出了从未有过的兴奋与激动。他第一次意识到钢铁的动力可以代替人类血肉之躯的体力劳动,同时也可以取代畜力了。从这时起小福特就立下了志向,一定要造出不用马拉而靠机器推动行走的车辆。对于蒸汽,小福特过去曾经做过实验,他曾用一个瓦罐烧开水,为了证明蒸汽的力量,他将盖子封严,结果蒸汽压力增大,将瓦罐炸裂,小福特为此还受了伤,留下了一条伤痕。
托马斯?爱迪生与亨利?福特童年爱好、性格、志向的相似,为两人日后终生建立深厚的友情打下了基础。
