Henry Ford who founded Ford Motors was the man who almost single-handedly revolutionized the automobile industry by introducing mass-production. The American industrialist launched Model T car and incorporated the concept of assembly line mode of production. Since a young age, tools and machinery attracted Henry and he would repair watches for friends and family using tools made by him. Ford began his career under the guidance of inventor Thomas Edison, who later encouraged Henry to develop his gasoline automobile. President Woodrow Wilson insisted that Ford contested in the elections for Senate. However, he agreed on the condition that he wouldn't shell out a penny for campaigning. Henry eventually lost but only by a margin of 4500 votes, despite the lack of campaigning. Ford was a man who believed in the presence of a 'Master Mind', "Somewhere is a Master Mind sending brain wave messages to us. There is a Great Spirit. I never did anything by my own volition. I was pushed by invisible forces within and without me."
