Carnegie was renowned for donating his life's wealth to charitable causes, while Ford, with his tenacious qualities, changed the history of transportation in the United States and the world with his 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 own achievements to two people: Andrew Carnegie and Henry Ford.

What Henry Ford left us is not just the 'Ford' automobile brand but also represents an unwavering, never-give-up entrepreneurial spirit.
