Success Story of Soichiro Honda...!!

Born to a blacksmith father, who owned a bicycle repair business. Honda grew up in the rural neighborhood of Iwata-gun, helping his father with his business until he was 15. At this age, with no formal education he thought his chance of succeeding in life would be better if he moved to Tokyo to get a job.

And by 1922, young Honda was working as an apprentice car mechanic at a garage in Tokyo, learning all he could about the workings of automobile machines. He was on this work for six years before coming back home in 1928 to set up his automobile repair business.

Eager to put his knowledge and experience of automobile machine repair to work, Honda organized the Tokai Seiki Company Ltd to make piston rings, but the project was not yielding result. And after seven years of trying without success, Honda realized his technical knowledge was not enough, and that he needed to upgrade it, so he got enrolled into a technical school in 1935 with the singular goal to discover why he couldn’t produce piston rings.

With his knowledge enhanced, Honda was finally able to successfully make piston rings, not only for automobiles, but also for motorcycles and aeroplanes.

Pranab Mukherjee finally steps into Raisina Hill ! Naturally, Bengalis are very happy.

Ever since 1939 when Netaji was ousted from the Congress and then Jyoti Basu didn't become prime minister in 1996, a Bengali has never held a high constitutional office. Barring few exceptions like Somanath Chatterjee was speaker of Lok Sabha, Bengalis were out of the mainstream of Indian politics. First Rajya Sabha speaker was again a bengali. And yes, Mamata Banerjee was indeed quite popular leader.
Many Congratulations to Bengal and many congratulations to Pranabda !!
