An ordinary Irish farmer who emigrated to America had a son, Henry. It seemed that his fate was known in advance: to clean the stables, feed pigs, to graze cattle. However, Henry did not agree with this and in his early childhood set himself the goal: to avoid farm labor and escape to the big city. At the age of 15, he succeeded. The teenager fled to Detroit and got a job at a carriage factory. It didn't take long before the whole world recognized the name of Henry Ford and his famous cars.
A remarkable fact: at some point, the young Ford decided to return to the farm. Things were not going very smoothly, people were wary of bulky and noisy cars. He agreed to his father's offer to leave the city and got his own piece of land. It was a clever and cunning move: to pretend to have taken the counselor's side, but to remain secret in his opinion. Henry didn't take a great interest in agriculture, but he didn't give up his ideas on how to make a car. After all, he did not doubt that this is one of those inventions that change the world. It turned out to be a lie for the good of him: a calm father did not go into the business of his returned son, and Ford enjoyed the time he had allotted to create a masterpiece with an engine. Both sides had benefited.

Is it possible to count those who lead loved ones behind the nose as selfish? Or is it true that everyone should stand up for themselves? If a man does not think about the benefit of his neighbor, does this mean that he is a callous and soulless person? And if he tries to completely dissolve into the goals and desires of other people - isn't he running away from his dreams, isn't he missing his own opportunities?
Everything in the world is interconnected and interdependent. It can take a lifetime to find the perfect balance. But it is worth it.
