Soichiro Honda was born in a small village under Mount Fuji. in JAPAN. He spent his early childhood helping his father, Gihei, a blacksmith, with his bicycle repair business.he was very much interested in automobiles,at small age he use 2 take his father's motorbike....to watch fair that was held .. few kilometres away from his native place ...
when he was 15 of age.., Honda left home and headed to Tokyo to look for work... He obtained an employment at a garage , he stayed for 5 years, working as a car mechanic before returning home to start his own garage.
Honda was very much passionate about his work...in the working hours..he use to repair the cars...and in night he use to design the PISTON ...RING..this continued for 4 years ...after 4 years..of hard work...Honda took his PISTON ...RING. to the well qualified ENGINEERS.....of TOYOTA company in japan...TOYOTA engineers after loking at his PISTON ...RING...they laughed at him and told him ..that what he had designed its useless...the RING had some faults in it...they told him for designing a PISTON ...RING requires a intellect...and a quality training...and Honda returned to his home town...empty handed...but he was not de-motivated...he again started the same routine...in the night he use ..to design the RING ...and in day hours he use 2 repair cars...again after working hard for 7 years...he took his PISTON ...RING to the same place ..TOYOTA ...and he showed his RING to the engineers...
engineers after watching his PISTON ...RING were shocked,....they were not able to believe that how an ordinary ..person can design a CORE part of a automobile.....
now...engineers appreciated his work...and helped him to get a project from toyoto....... Honda got his first project from TOYOTO...and.... rest his HISTORY ...HONDA IS A BIG
