I Think I Can




"Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you're right." Henry Ford






Henry Ford was born July 30, 1863 and died April 7, 1947. He was the American founder of the Ford Motor Company and the father of the modern assembly line used in mass production.



Mr. Ford believed this quote or he would have never attempted to invent the modern assembly line or have founded the Ford Motor Company. I think it is true also. If we believe we can do something then we can and if we believe we are unable to do something then we will not be able to do it.

It is true, if you don't believe you can do something, more often than not, you will not accomplish it...it is best to have an optimistic attitude.

I really think this quote sums it up. "Most of us were not born with a silver spoon in our mouths."So,by telling ourselves,or believing in our selves,we can accomplish great things.
An so what if they're not great at least you gave it a try.

I really like this quote because if you believe in yourself and you can accomplish things. if you dont then what are you going to accomplish in life? Most people that dont think they can do something, they wont. and without trying then how will you ever know.
