Soichiro Honda was born on 17 November 1906 in Iwatagun (now Tenrryu City) isolated in Shizuoka prefecture. Chubu region between Tokyo, Kyoto and Nara on the island of Honshu which was initially full of neat tea plantations, which were interrupted, she interrupted a delicious strawberry planted. But now Honda has been swallowed by the birth of Hamamatsu is the largest city in the province.

His father named Gihei Honda a blacksmith-turned-entrepreneur bicycle repair shop, while her mother named Mika, Soichiro eldest of nine children, but only four managed to reach adulthood. The others died in childhood due to lack of medicine and also due to a rundown neighborhood.


Although Honda Gihei poor, but he likes to renewal. When the mouthpiece came the Western capital, he did not hesitate to change their traditional cigaret pipe is bent, no matter what his neighbors think it strange. Apparently, nature and machine handling skills also decreased at her eldest son.


Before entering school, Soichiro was happy, helped his father at the foundry. It was also very fascinated to see and hear dengum rice grinding machine which is located a few kilometers from the village.


Low achievement at school. Honda claims-ulangannya replicates poorly. He does not like to read, while writing feels very hard. Not infrequently he was truant. "Even now I am more efficient learning from TV than from reading. If I read, nothing is sticking in the brain, "he said.


When it was grade five and six, Soichiro talent stood out in the field of science. Although it was only a dozen years, but in science classes in Japan have raised items like batteries, scales, test tubes and machines. Soichiro easily capture information easily his teachers and teachers answer questions.


Some time before that, for the first time Soichiro saw the car. "When I forget everything. I chased the car and managed to cling briefly behind him. When the car stopped, lubricant drips onto the soil. I kiss the ground that dibasahinya. Maybe my behavior just like a dog. Then, I rubbed oil into her hands and arms.


Perhaps at that moment that arises in my heart the desire to eventually create his own car. Since that time there is sometimes a car comes into our village. Every time I hear the roar of the car, I ran into the street, do not care at that moment my sister was holding. "


Soichiro had only sat in school for ten years. After graduating elementary school, bad boy was sent to junior high school in Futumata not far from his residence. Graduated from high school, he returned to his father's house. Gihei Honda has switched from a blacksmith's bicycle repair business. Gihei Honda has the magazine The World of Wheels Soichiro read it with interest.


In the magazine from Tokyo, an auto repair shop advertisements seeking employees. Soichiro hastily proposed and she accepted. Although his father worried, but Soichiro ushered into the big city also.


Honda almost did not believe her ears when Honda felt called to learn to be waiting for the mechanic is indeed a most severe test of endurance, would ever face a lifetime. In those days after that he was not afraid anymore thanks to the fortitude to face whatever obstacles are acquired during a lackey.


Honda who during his career did not know much about money, just get a little advantage that first year. But Honda was lucky because a successful workshop. He decided to save money and estimate during his tenure will be able to collect up to 1000 yen.


During his life as an inventor of the famous Honda. He holds the patent for more than 100 personal discovery. The first, the discovery is the technique of making the radius of the metal car. When was the cars in Japan using the fingers flammable wood. Japanese companies exporting immediately fingers the metal to India. At the age of 25 years he obtained a 1000 yen profit a month.


Companies also appreciate the young people and are always recruiting young people to give "new blood" and fresh ideas. While Honda's resignation in 1973, chosen as a replacement is KYOSHI Kawashima, head of Honda's corporate research. During its history, the Honda company has experienced only once in the year 1954 strikes. When it was Honda and management on the one hand and workers facing
Honda's brother in the other Contracting Party. But as companies in Japan just like everything was resolved by consensus.


Since 1973, Honda moved into a four-wheeler market to be able to keep expanding the number of corporate income. Honda staff at the 10% increase every year. If they grow older, it means the company will increase the weight load. Though Honda face severe competition in the domestic market and abroad. To be able to keep creating new markets they should always look for unique and efficient techniques and sell products at competitive prices.


But when Honda and Fujisawa resigned in the fall of 1973, Honda said, "I could resign without feeling worried, because I believe the company will move forward with passion, overcoming various difficulties and flexible, without losing freshness."


"Quite frankly I feel young in terms of mental and physical," said Honda. "I think you guys can not win from me. But now I must admit I often felt jealous of young people. I was told that the general corporate leaders in America's age of 40 and led the company's 60-year-old often experience stagnation.


We now are entering a new era that requires new values. Although I and deputy general manager felt we were young, we thought we were past the age to lead. "


If I look back, I see that I create nothing other than a mistake, a series of failures and a series of penitence, "said Honda. "But I am also proud for my success. Although I often make mistakes and failures, but it never caused by the same thing. Never repeat my mistake and I always tried as hard as possible to improve themselves. In that I succeeded.


"He still holds the largest share in the company. When to resign in 1973 approached 1.7 billion dollars in income. Although retired what he said was still being heard. He said, the future is not determined by the Japanese industries to quickly, but by the quality of goods that we make and the impact on the interests of fellow human beings. If we make things that cause much pollution we probably will make money, but only briefly, after it went bankrupt.


We at Honda companies often joked: nice to have big companies that they work only think about big profits. As a result, small companies like Honda got a chance to make things better.
