This is a beautiful quote by Henry Ford that talks about the importance of hard work. There are 2 parts to this quote – one about the hard work of chopping and the second about taking the initiative and ownership. We all know that hard work is romanticised in motivational quotes – however hard work for the sake of work is pointless. We need to support this hard work through strategy, smart thinking and above all ownership and self-reliance. This is where we can start making the difference that Henry Ford alludes to.
