Today's Inspirational Quote:

Use what talent you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang best. - Henry Van Dyke

Live each day to the fullest. -- S. H. Payer

Get the most from each hour, each day,and each age of your life.Then you can look forward with confidence,and back without regrets.

Be yourself - but be your best self. Dare to be different and to follow your own star. And don't be afraid to be happy.

Enjoy what is beautiful. Love with all your heart and soul. Believe that those you love, love you.

When you are faced with decisions, make that decision as wisely as possible - then forget it. The moment of absolute certainty never arrives.

And above all else, remember that God helps those who help themselves. Act as if everything depended upon you,
and pray as if everything depended upon God.

This day in history - Sep 21, 1945 : Henry Ford II ascends to the throne

Henry Ford II, grandson and namesake of Henry Ford, succeeded his father as president of the Ford Motor Company on this day, inheriting a company that was losing money at the rate of several million dollars a month. After recovering from the shock of his father's unexpected death, Henry Ford II was effectively given a crash course in management, but fortunately for the company, he turned out to have the magic touch. He quickly set about reorganizing and modernizing the Ford Motor Company, firing the powerful Personnel Chief Harry Bennett, whose strong-arm tactics and anti-union stance had made Ford notorious for its bad labor relations. He also brought in new talent, including a group of former U.S. Air Force intelligence officers, among them Robert McNamara, who became known as the "Whiz Kids." During his tenure as president, Henry Ford II nursed the Ford Motor Company back to health, greatly expanding its international operations and introducing two classic models, the Mustang and the Thunderbird.

Have a memorable day!
