I gotta confess, I am a guy who isn't all that interested in cars, this comes shortly after admitting on another comment I am no good at tools, I fear my masculinity is being eroded away evermore as I scrollm down this feed haha.
Having said all that. When it is time for the annual service or the car is getting work done and we are without it even for a day, we feel like prisoners in our own home lol. In many ways it is not a good thing that we are so utterly reliant on our vehicles, but how on earth could we not be? The freedom this one invention has allowed people from every corner of the planet, the ability to find work further afield, the socio-economic benefits are staggering.
As you correctly point out, there would be no @planetauto and what would self-improvement books be filled with, without all those Henry Ford quotes? 🤷♂️😎👍
Whether you know you can do a job or can't - you're right - yes the vehicle is a vehicle to so many other avenues, transport, then there's the people that drive the people to the destination, the people who repair it, make parts, grow the rubber and so on - no doubt you know of Fordlandia, thank you for H Ford bit :)
Oh I am fascinated to know how transformative it would have been if Fordlandia had been a success, I remember reading that Ford's wealth at it's height, by todays standards would compete with those at the very pinnacle of industry today, Musk and Gates would still be a fraction behind him even now, if we can ever describe the odd ten billion in fractional terms!
The man certainly did have a way with words that still makes them incredibly relevant and not at all dated today and an innovative and enlightened style of management that many would be well advised to adopt today, he was the perfect meeting of practicality, dreams and ideas, (not at all a perfect man, who among us is?) Quotes are a passion of mine and a big part of the reason I started the self improvement community where Ford's words make more than an occasional appearance.
Great to cross paths, Galen's weekend engagement post does that for the community, opens new doors.
Take good care and keep motoring 😎👍🚘
