Henry Ford

Manypeople believe henry fordinvented the automobile (汽車), but hennery ford didn’t start tobuild his first car until1896. That was eleven years after two Germansdeveloped the world’s firstautomobile. Many people believe henry ford inventedthe production line thatmoved a car’s parts to the worker, instead of makingthe worker move to theparts. That is not true, either. Many factory ownersused methods of this kindbefore ford. What henry ford did was to use otherpeople’s ideas and make thembetter. And he made the whole factory a movingproduction line.

Inthe early days of theautomobile, almost every car maker raced his cars. It wasthe best way ofgaining public notice. Henry ford decided to build a racing car.Ford’s mostfamous race was his first one. It was also the last race in which hedrove thecar himself.

Therace was in 1901, at a fieldnear Detroit. All of the most famous cars hadentered, but only two were left:the Winton and Ford’s. The Winton was famousfor its speed. Most people thoughtthe race was over before it began. The Wintontook an early lead. But halfwaythrough the race, it began to lose power. Fordstarted to gain. And near theend of the race, he took the lead. Ford won therace and defeated the Winton. Hisname appeared in newspapers and he becamewell-known all over the United States.

Withinweeks of the race, henryford formed a new automobile company. In 1903, a doctorin Detroit bought thefirst car from the company. That sale was the beginning ofhenry ford’s dream.Ford said, “I will build a motor car for the great mass ofpeople. It will belarge enough for the family, but small enough for one personto operate andcare for. It will be built of the best materials. It will bebuilt by the bestmen to be employed. And it will be built with the simplestplans that modernengineering can produce.

Body language

Bodylanguage is theunspoken communication that goes on in every face-to-faceencounter withanother human being. It tells you their true feelings towards youand how wellyour words are being received. Between 50%-100% of our message iscommunicatedthrough our body language. Only 7%-10% is the result of actualwords we use ina conversation.

Eye contact is one of the most important waysof dealing with others, especiallypeople we’ve just met. Keep good eye contactshows respect and interest in whatthey have to say. In the UK, people tend tokeep eye contact around 60%-70% ofthe time. (However, there are wide culturaldifferences, so be careful in othercountries.) By doing this, you give them afeeling of comfort and real warmth. Otherwise,they will feel you are lackinginterest in them or their conversation.

Head position is a great one to play aroundwith yourself and others, when youwant to feel confident and self-assured,keep your head level both straight andupright. You can also use this straighthead position when you want to bepowerful and what you are saying be to takenseriously. If you want to befriendly, tilt(傾斜)your head just a little to oneside or other.

Hand gestures are so many and varied thatit’s hard to give a brief guide, buthere goes. Palms(手掌) slightly up and outward is seenas openand friendly. Palm-down gestures are generally seen as commanding,emphasizingand possibly aggressive (挑釁的). This palm-up, palm-down isveryimportant when it comes to handshaking and we suggest you always offerahandshake upright, which should convey equality.

Distance from others is crucial if you wantto give off the right signals. Standtoo close and you’ll be marked as“stubborn” (頑固的，棘手的).Stand or sit too faraway and you’ll be “keeping your distance”. Neither is whatwe want, so observehow close all the other people are to each other if in agroup. Also notice ifyou move closer to someone and they back away. You’reprobably a bit too muchin their personal space, their comfort zone.
