亨利·福特《我的生活与工作》· My Life and Work · 领导
It was life on the farm that drove me into devising ways and means to better transportation. I was born on July 30, 1863, on a farm at Dearborn, Michigan, and my earliest recollection is that, considering the results, there was too much work on the place. That is the way I still feel about farming. There is a legend that my parents were very poor and that the early days were hard ones. Certainly they were not rich, but neither were they poor. As Michigan farmers went, we were prosperous. The house in which I was born is still standing, and it and the farm are part of my present holding.

白话
核心是：农场生活太辛苦，逼着福特想办法改进运输。他1863年生于密歇根迪尔伯恩的农场，从小就觉得农活太多、效率太低。家里不算穷，是当地过得去的农户。他后来一直觉得农业劳动太累人，这种感受成了他后来搞机械、造车的起点。
上下文
福特在自传开头回忆童年，说明自己发明创造的动机来自农场劳作。
今日一问
你身边哪些“太辛苦”的事，可能正是改进的机会？
