CORRECTION: 11:05 Japan *Started* the Pacific War. Sorry for letting that slipped by :I

In 1922, a 15-year-old boy shows up for his first day at work at a small auto-repair shop in Tokyo Japan. The owner, who questioned if the boy was even meant for this type of business, assigned him to clean the workshop and look after his child instead. At the time, nobody thought much of him, neither they cared, but only because they had no idea who this kid would eventually become.

Fast forwards a few decades, and that boy, Soichiro Honda, was now competing with some of the biggest car brands in the world, while also owning the largest motorbike manufacturer.

This is the story of how one poor Japanese boy, went from babysitting children… to building a multibillion-dollar brand, Honda Motors.

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 started Honda in 1948 and here in 2022 I'm still riding my 1984 honda gold wing. Amazing story and makes me wanting to keep that old bike even more.

I don't think I've ever been more proud to own a Honda after watching this. This man's determination and willpower is unfathomable.

I am inspired by the part..." my mistakes and failures never occurred for the same reasons". Thank you, Mr Honda.

What an inspiring person...I have always respected Honda as well as Toyota because they built cars to last and to be trustworthy. Like a friend said, " one of the few things you can trust in this world, is an engine made by a Japanese person"

I used to work for a Honda Motorcycle manufacturing plant here in the Philippines and that's where I also met my now husband. Proud to be part of this globally known Company.

I have been a mechanic for 37 years for different auto manufacturers, and by far my time at a Honda dealership was my favorite. Always impressed with the factory training and the quality. Fantastic auto company

I definitely won't be able to take another step if I lost everything like he did. This guy really makes me so humble down to earth. Until today I am still cannot understand how this type of people have so much willingness, huge effort and not giving up for what they believe. For me, they are not human. They are superman.

Successful people don't become successful that way overnight. What most people see at a glance- wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life..

Absolutely inspiring to see that no matter how many times he failed, He got back up. I'm sure he's proud of how big and reliable Honda still is among the competition.

This man is probably one of, if not the most influential person in modern automotive and motorcycle history. I own a classic Honda Valkyrie, and it's one of the best motorcycles I've ever ridden. I would have loved to have met this man.

I'm reading this story 31 years after Sochiro Honda passed on but the story is still very inspiring. Those who live for others never die.

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 😊😊
