    i was lucky enough to have met the great man himself, in the early 80's i was working for Honda Australia and he visited, the first thing he wanted was the Australian flag off the flag pole which he draped himself in and he wanted to meet everybody in the entire office and warehouse and personally thank them for their work, it was an absolute pleasure to have shook his hand and he was so humble and very funny, great memory.

      He is on a whole other level isn't he for determination and drive never to quit! The closest person I know of to this guy is Thomas Edison who its said made around 1,000 prototype failure attempts for the electric light bulb before he finally got it right, massive debts and everyone saying it was impossible to do and he should quit, but he carried on because he believed in his idea and himself..just like Soichiro Honda. Thomas Edison took the same atitude towards failures and setbacks as Soichiro, he said he didn't look at it as 1,000 failures, but instead a necessary process to doing it right, and that he 1,000 learned ways of how not to create a light bulb..I bet he learned a lot of other stuff during that process too. Mistakes, setbacks and obstacles are learning experiences and challenges..if you quit at the first major obstacle or setback, you could miss greatness. One great ape figured out that banging hard shell nuts with a lump of rock opens the nuts and now all the other generations do it as a learned behaviour ;-)

      I owned a 2010 Honda Civic and currently own a 2014 Honda City. The only defect i´ve ever had on the latest was a light bulb that burnt, and my regular mechanic once told me about the first one that he wasn´t exagerating when he said that my Civic engine could run my car for about 400,000 km (around 250,000 miles) before I even had to make a half adjustment to the engine. A boss of mine had a really old Accord and the only thing he ever complained about was that the cassette player no longer worked (picture how old his car was) and he didn´t want to install a new stereo out of nostalgia. Jezz, I even knew about a guy in a place I used to work whose Civic got caught in a flooding and spent a couple of days underwater and other than have the interiors washed and the stereo replaced, his car just kept running like nothing had happened.

    Few valuable lessons learnt from this video
    1) endure the process even if you are making mistakes.
    2) be consistent with the goal/vision, even when it seems impossible or rejected by others.
    3) money will only support the vision/goal and if there's none, we become slave to money.
    4) honor the people/institution who have done what you are trying to do in a unique way.
    5) if we fail in the mind, we fail in every other thing.
    6) the way up is down, nobody suddenly arrived at the top.
    I hope you learnt something too 😊😊

I actually looked for a later model Honda Accord to replace it, but wayyy too expensive..so I ended up with a 50k mile 2012 Lexus IS 350.

    I've always loved Honda motorcycles since a child. My father bought me and my brothers a Honda 55, we rode the wheels off that bike. My next bike was a Honda 70. It was 1973 and I was 13 years old. I still have it to this day and it has over 6000 miles on it, I use it as my tranpertation around the airport now. I have owned many Honda bikes throughout the years, 90s, 250 Elsinore, 350 twin, 350 four, 900, but my all time favorite was the 750 four, what a great touring bike and had such a unique sound.

    • @MD-hg9dq
      @MD-hg9dq 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I couldn't agree more as evidenced by the best expression of ... "Those who live for others never die" ... delineated in the following prayer using caps as emphasis to communicate the greatest story ever told about the greatest sacrifice ever made by the greatest person to ever lived.
      On a balcony of space STEPPED A PURE AND HOLY GOD. IN AWESOME SOLITUDE YOU STOOD ALONE. Not one faint star to give YOU light; just endless darkness, it was blackest night. But somehow in the darkness YOU COULD SEE.
      YOU SAW mountains high and lofty, YOU SAW valleys lush and green. YOU SAW babbling brooks, and wildflowers grow, YOU EVEN HEARD a robin sing. Then through YOUR COMPASSION STANDING OUT THERE IN YOUR TOMORROW, YOU SAW forum's visitors, their families and friends. 🥰
      YOU SAW them as sinners (missing the mark resulting in their weaknesses prevailing causing guilt of wrong doing) because there is no intrinsic righteousness in any of us due to Adam’s sin. YOU SAW them as they grew from a baby into adulthood due to YOUR HANDS OF MERCY. 🥰 YOU SAW them pursuing a career path for the purpose of obtaining the gains of the world not realizing that it is a loss compared to what YOU DID on the cross. YOU SAW them working long and laboring hard to receive the grace by justification even though YOU stated, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."(John 6:29 KJV) YOU SAW the unwillingness to accept YOUR PLAN OF SALVATION THROUGH YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST. YOU SAW them living with the guilt of committing crimes to the heart. YOU SAW them enduring personal crisis. YOU SAW the weight of the burden on their hearts with each tribulation. YOU SAW them seeking comfort from the above mentioned topography, ONE OF THE MANY MARVELS YOUR PERFECT HANDS HAVE MADE. 👏🏻👏🏾👏🏻👏🏾👏🏻👏🏾 YOU SAW their worries about tomorrow.
      If their hearts were a window that they could look through, oh the pains and scars they would see. What a cruel fate the skin gives as a mask to the inward pain. But the skin couldn’t cover THE SUFFERING YOUR ONE AND ONLY SON BORED on the cross as PAYMENT for all our sins because HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE HAD THE MERIT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR HOLINESS. Indeed, ONLY HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SUFFICIENT TO SAVE us from this present evil world as evidenced by Mary's song of praise. "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." (Luke 1:46-47 KJV) Awesome thanks to YOUR GREAT PARDON for being easy on the heart. 🥰
      They have seen a lot of crazy things done in YOUR NAME. For example, the father of lies futile attempts to make crooked the right ways of the LORD to turn people away from faith in the WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST ALONE. How can anyone bear the thought of his or her life story detracting from the GLORY AND HONOR KNOWN TO BELONG TO CHRIST ALONE? As a consequence, YOU ARE A MYSTERY OF GREAT MYSTERY to them. Despite this conviction, YOU ARE MINDFUL of them as evidenced by the fact that YOUR JUDGEMENT is not speedy, allowing them to pursue the desires of the flesh.
      They are aware of hypocrisy in religious assemblies that like to be seen and heard. In addition, secular education teaches that there is no right and wrong, if GOD exists there is no way of relating to HIM, and moral standards shift according to the whims of fashion. Therefore, their minds are conditioned to question everything this world has to offer including “THY POWER THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE DISPLAYED.” They have accepted the heavy burden of dealing with the troubles of this life and seek to know another way, YOU THE GREAT COMFORTER TO ALL who did receive YOU as their personal SAVIOR. Still, YOU have shown them NEW MERCY every day with each thought they make and each breath they take.
      Unfortunately, like the prodigal son, we are all guilty of wandering far from YOU LORD because the negative experiences of our lives tend to build roadblocks to the TRUTH. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them to identify the way, truth, and eternal life (that is YOU). Since to know and follow your SPIRIT is more exciting than any 007 movies, and YOU DELIGHT MAKING the ordinary into extraordinary. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST MAKE them understand that there is no way around YOUR TRUTH, and that there is something about YOUR NAME. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them defeat in their minds what is false in YOUR EYES.
      LORD GUIDE their thoughts to know that the path of sin is hard on their hearts for the purpose of crying out to YOU to know the joy, peace of having the heavy burden LIFTED by THE GOD OF PEACE I AM, and ANCHOR their souls in THE HAVEN OF REST. In other words, LORD use the storms in their lives to get a hold of them to trust YOU and believe. In truth, YOU ARE THE JOY that seekest them through pain.
      LORD HELP their fainting hearts to believe that YOU, who was slain on the cross over 2000 years ago has the POWER TO CHANGE lives today through the INSTANTANEOUS GREAT FAVOR from GOD to the house of Israel made known in believers by YOU to make YOUR NAME EVERLASTING. 🥰 For as the statue liberates the citizens so the cross liberates the soul. ONLY YOU can calm the trouble waters of the mind when one admits to wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, JESUS IS LORD, and believes in the heart that GOD RAISED HIM from the dead TO LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt away from the heart in accordance to YOUR WORD found in Psalm 51:1-10 KJV. 👏🏻👏🏾👏🏻👏🏾👏🏻👏🏾 O, the wonder of it all to experience within the flesh the feeling of a tree being cut back/pruned in order for it to grow stronger and more beautiful after meditating on the words of said Psalm. 🥰🙌🏻🙌🏾
      LORD MAKE them know that ONLY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, through the experience of a new birth within believers, can prevent the family circle from being broken because THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE YOU HAVE GRANTED means a chapter of their lives is decided. Creation sings the rebirth song for them yearly, through YOUR PROMISE of springtime, giving rise to the idea that by the mention of YOUR NAME flowers grow, and the desert blooms again. 🥰
      LORD GUIDE their understanding of words to use to come into YOUR PRESENCE with an honest reverence of WHO YOU ARE to experience the beauty that time can't erase YOUR WISDOM resting on their faces. LORD STRENGTHEN their determination to never waiver in efforts to search for YOU because the wages of sin is too high for anyone to pay. Additionally, THE KING OF KINGS is needed in their hearts to learn how to expand their capacity to love for YOU are LOVE in any language. 🥰 Once they learn to speak it with boldness through YOUR WONDERFUL COUNSELING all the world will hear, and know that LOVE is the language of their hearts. So LORD, KEEP KNOCKING on their door until they let YOU in to know hardships and struggles will end with a GREAT CELEBRATION WITH YOU. 🥰🙌🏻🙌🏾
      If one believes faith cannot be forced, YOU WILL GIVE that individual over to the stubborn heart to follow own counsel which will surely fail him or her to the extent that the punishment will last forever found in Psalms 81 NIV. Given this, I pray that YOU WILL MAKE that person see that this feeling is wasted for a world in which we become strangers as we age, gives us thrills instead of peace, aims to solve a problem but creates another, and unrest surges with each passing generation. Shed some light into their broken hearts for YOU ARE THE GREAT JEHOVAH, THE GOD THAT HEALETH thee.
      Lastly, LORD when they call on YOU in earnest prayer to come into their hearts to be born again (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life), I pray that YOU WILL GIVE them the blessed assurance of their salvation because nothing breaks YOUR HEART, or tears YOU apart like when they cry from the trials of the devil who comes to slander, falsely accuse, steal, kill & destroy. Only by drawing nearer to YOU LORD will put them on a path to a glorious one way trip winding upward to YOU where pain is not welcome because the heart will never break anymore. For ONLY YOU UNDERSTANDS our tears since YOU LOOK at the heart, while humans look at the flesh.
      O LOVE that will not let them go. When they don't have the strength to try, and have cried all they can cry hear their hearts that need YOU more today than yesterday. Many thanks LORD for speaking TRUTH in our lives TO BLESS those who are not offended by THEE. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE because YOUR LOVE ALONE CONQUERS everything by WAITING for them to cease struggling, and finally surrender to YOUR EMBRACE to learn about YOUR LOVE AND PROMISE TO TAKE CARE of your children exquisitely. 🥰 Since... "at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore"... (Psalms 16:11 KJV), and the nail print for them to know YOU by answering the following question. How did CHRIST LOVE people into a relationship with HIM? 🥰

    I remember Dr. Eugene DeLoatch, Dean of the School of Engineering at Morgan State, used to drive an old Honda to work for so many years. After watching this video I have a sneaking suspicion that it was because of the innovative engineering involved in its history. It wasn’t just a vehicle, it was the achievement-he has always been an avid historian...I’m sure he probably drove it as reminder of why he was there, graduating engineers.
    All of this is just a momentary thought, but innovative people really do change the world and solve problems that the rest of us benefit from.

    I have a Honda generator, the most reliable brand in Botswana, and the small Honda fit car has erased Toyota Corollas out of market permanently, they are everywhere in people's homes as personal cars, taxis and are known as notorius crime cars too, police are always alert about Honda fit, they are very tough and reliable and uses less fuel to travel long distances, such a beautiful story of very high determination

The gist of his legacy I think is... making mistakes doesn't end the journey to success its actually part of the journey, only giving up ends the journey so never give up and be happy with your mistakes and learn from them

      People don't have this type of determination today. They were born in an easy life, and giving that up won't happen.
      Besides, people build cheap junk today, last a few years, then buy another. A disposable world. People used to take care of things, because if you did, it would last a lifetime.

Looking forward to be equipped with skills and see the growth and career of Honda. Really the workers are excellent! More models to be released soon! Seeing the old models like 23M Honda Civic, Accord, RDX, MDX, Cable Reel, Hamamatsu, Odyssey, Civic IP, Stepwagon as a new model turning Subaru and HR-V Honda into the market! More on with Honda Click! Glad to know the story behind. God bless more the company and its people. To all car markets and manufacturers, Kudos! More way to goooo! 👏👏👏🏁🚗

    You should have mentioned that the Honda Super Cub is the most-produced motor vehicle in history, with 120 million sold since 1958 -- and still in production today. The Super Cub not only saved Honda, but it saved the entire motorcycle industry, which was in a death spiral in the 1960s . . .until the "Nicest People" ad campaign turned motorcycles from vehicles for the "Rebel Without A Cause" crowd into "acceptable" transportation for normal people.
