Famous People Who Found Success After Age 40
Henry Ford:
Innovators change things, they develop ideas, ideas which are pitched by them or other people. Henry Ford is one such innovator; he did not invent the automobile, he did not invent the assembly line of motors, but more than any individual he transformed the invention of automobile into an innovation that shaped the 20th century and still continues to make a difference in our lives.
His innovation is now an accepted part of our daily life; such is the profound power of Henry Ford’s innovation. He was 45 when he created the revolutionary Model T Car, which altered human living patterns.
One requires courage to take risks and face the challenges, yet retain that confidence and potential to reach one’s destination. Henry had all those put together but it certainly took him many years to develop them fully. From a very early age, Henry possessed ideal personality, which he inherited from his father, an ordinary farm employee. Henry learnt about all the equipments within his reach from watches to steam engines. He taught himself all the technical details with the help of some drivers and labors in the factories. ‘Trial and error’ was the foundation of his career.
Jack A. Weil:
A legend on earth, Jack Weil left a legacy by working each and every single day of his life till his death at the age of 107. That is a wise centenary. He invented the famous cowboy hats under his brand Rackmount Ranch Wear, at the age of 45 for cowboys, ranchers, and farmers in his vicinity.
Jack Weil is a pioneer who invented western shirts with snaps. The farmers wore boots and hats but ordinary shirts, therefore western shirts with snaps were invented exclusively to meet their needs.
Jack is duly credited for patronizing western look. He popularized western wear with his innovative shirts which are suitable to all. Western look is now adopted across the world.
The cowboy hats which are high crowned and wide brimmed are modified as per the current trends and continue to be in fashion.
