Instead of being afraid....

 Instead of being afraid of the challenge and failure, be afraid of avoiding the challenge and doing nothing....Soichiro Honda

  Soichira Honda was a Japanese engineer and industrialist. He's the founder of Honda Motor Co., Ltd. and oversaw its expansion from a wooden shack manufacturing bicycle motors to an international automobile and motorcycle manufacturer. In the year 1937, Soichiro Honda founded Tōkai Seiki to make piston rings for Toyota, another Japanese international automotive manufacture headquarter. During World War II, a United States B-29 bomber attack devastated Tōkai Seiki Yamashita plant in the year 1944 and the Iwata plant collapsed in the 1945 Mikawa Earthquake. After the war, Soichiro Honda sold the salvageable remains of the company to Toyota for ¥450,000 and utilized the continuations to find the Honda Technical Research Institute in October 1946. In the year 1948, he embarked producing a full motorized bicycle, the Type A, which was driven by the first mass-produced engine adorned by Soichira Honda, and was sold until the year 1951. The Type D in the year 1949 was a true motorcycle with a press-steeled frame designed and produced by Soichiro Honda with a 2-stroke, 98 cc(6.0 cu in) 3 hp (2.2kW) engine, and became the first model in the Dream series of motorcycles. The Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan lists both the Type A and Type D models as two of their 240 Landmarks of Japanese Automotive Technology. After the war, he became reacquainted with his friend Takeo Fujisawa, whom he had known during his days as a supplier of piston rings to Nakajima Aircraft Company. In the year 1949, he hired Takeo Fujisawa, who oversaw the financial side of the company and helped the firm expand. In the year 1959, Honda motorcycles opened its first dealership in the United States. As president of the Honda Motor Company, Soichiro Honda turned the company into a billion-dollar international that produced the best-selling motorcycles in the world. His engineering and marketing flairs resulted in Honda motorcycles outselling Triumph and Harley-Davidson in their respective home markets. Soichiro Honda remained as a president until his retirement in the year 1973, where he stayed on as his director and was appointed "supreme advisor" in the year 1983. His status was such that People magazine, an American weekly magazine placed him on their "25 most Intriguing People Of The Year" list for 1980, dubbing him "the Japanese Henry Ford". In retirement, he busied himself with work related to the Honda Foundation. In his memoirs, Soichiro Honda expressed his sadness for sometimes being impolite to his employees, humilliating and occasionally even slapping them in the face.

Illness, is a challenge for me from young till now, but it does not stop me from doing something. I can read newspaper, studying my accounting subject and exercise. Finally, I finish them all.
