What Is The Key Of Success - The Story Of A Indomitable Spirit

   

                     What is Success? Success is a journey that have a lots of failure. The one who does not fail, doesn't try anything new in life. Smooth sea does not make a skillful sailor. Successful people never give up. Today my story is about a man whose burning desire doesn't let him fail.

                    In the year 1906 in Shizuoka, Japan a little boy was born. His father had a bicycle repair business. He belonged to a middle class family. They did not have sufficient money but the boy had his own dreams to grow big. He left his house and went to Tokyo. There he joined a garage and started to learn the car mechanics.

                   He mastered the work very well and developed intense interest for this work. He designed prototype piston rings and went to Toyota company. But Toyota rejected his design. Everyone laughed at him because of his failure. But this did not affect him an inch because his dreams were big.

                    He made another design and went to Toyota company once again. This time his design got selected. So Toyota gave him capital to set up his factory for piston rings.

                      He became very happy and started constructing his own factory. The construction completed. But mother earth had another plan to test his patience. Mikawa earthquake destroyed his entire factory.

                       Gaining his all strength, he started constructing his factory again. This time Japan entered into World War and cement became a short supply. But this could not stop him at all. He produced cement in a new way and set up his factory. Then America entered into a World War and they bombed in Japan. Once again his factory collapsed. 

Bombing in Japan by America

                      But he was unstoppable. Those days American bomber plane used fuel and threw the gasoline tank to lighten the weight. These gasoline tanks filled up the ground of Japan. He got an idea. He used these tanks to construct his factory again.

                    He set up his factory for the third time. But then Japan lost in the war. Fuel was then became short supply. People stopped using cars because of the shortage of fuel. So they started using bycycle. When his factory was ready to start working, Toyota cancelled his order because of no demand of cars.

An Old Model Cycle

                  He had nothing to do. All day he rode his bicycle. One day he got an idea. He set motor in his bycycle. Thus he made world's first motorcycle. His friends liked it. They gave him order to make it for them. 

Bicycle with a Motor

                   He made twenty motorcycles and got a marketable idea to produce motorcycle. He was a self inspired person. He hand wrote notes to five thousand bicycle stockists in Japan. From which only eighteen hundred responded. They sent him a little bit of capital each. With the help of this capital, he set up his motorcycle factory. His first motorcycle was very big and failed in market. He tried once again. This time he made a smaller model of motorcycle and named it "super cub". It was his first success and thereafter he never looked back. 

                   You heard the entire story. Do you know whom I was taking about? He is none other than "Soichiro Honda" the founder of Honda Motorcycle Company. He employed one hundred thousand people worldwide. His factory produced one lakhs and ten lakhs motorcycles in the year 1961 and 1968 respectively.

                   In the start of the blog I have asked you a question that what is success? Now you know what is success. The main key of success is inspiration and enthusiasm. By this idea you can transform your life and make yourself a better person. You will get difficulties but you will overcome them if you have inspiration. Winners sees the difficulties as an opportunity but the losers sees the little obstacles like mountains. 

                   Inspiration is so important. In Bible Jesus told his followers "Be either hot or cold, if you are lukewarm I will spit you out". 

The Bible

                   In Yogsutra Patanjali said "There are three types of human. One is Mridu who are lazy and take everything for granted. Next is Madhya who do all things properly. The last is Bishesh who always give their best and succeed in life. "
