11. Inspirational
Story were surprised to see that
As we all know Henry Ford is Millionaire. He used to come to office in
very simple clothes(Average). All of his employees
their employer who has lots and lots of money is coming to office dressed so
simple. One day his secretary asked him. “Sir, You have enough money to buy
all the clothes in this world yet you are so simple dressed.” Henry Ford gave a
smile and replied, “Dear, Everyone knows here I am Henry Ford. Why should I
be worried about showing people that I am Henry Ford by wearing lavish
clothes”. Secretary got her answer.
After a few months Henry Ford was about to go on a world tour. He
went to different place but the dressing was still the same. Then one day again
the secretary asked him the same question, “Sir, I don’t think many people
know you here, so you should change your dressing sense.”. Henry Ford again
gave a smile and replied, “Why should I be bothered about dressing for people
who doesn’t even know that I am Henry Ford.” Secretary got her answer
again.
