Features: Dale Carnegie, the master of success, believed that in the 19th and 20th centuries, there were two great entrepreneurs in the United States: one was "Steel King" Andrew Carnegie, and the other was "Automobile King" Henry Ford. Carnegie was renowned for donating the wealth he had created after graduation to charitable causes, while Ford, with his tenacious qualities, changed the history of transportation in the United States and the world with automobiles. It was he who "put wheels on America," propelling the country into a brand-new era of development. Napoleon Hill, another master of success, attributed his success philosophy to two people: Andrew Carnegie and Henry Ford. He believed, "Henry Ford's remarkable achievements provide the fundamental proof of the reliability of the seventeen laws of success in The Law of Success." What Henry Ford left us is not just the 'Ford' automobile brand but also represents an unwavering, never-give-up entrepreneurial spirit. The famous Fortune magazine, whening "the greatest entrepreneurs of the 20th century," described him as follows: "The entrepreneur of the 20th century is an industrial builder who changed every piece of land where we live, created 'big markets,' and supplied products. He is the greatest entrepreneur we have ever seen. He is down-to-earth, carrying all the prejudices of his time, and possesses that enduring genius—he is Henry Ford."
