00:00Soft inspirational music plays. Sunrise over a rural Japanese village in the

00:06early 1900s. A young boy, Soichiro Honda, watches his father work in a small

00:12bicycle repair shop. Success is not about never failing, it's about never giving up.

00:18This is the story of a man who faced failure countless times but never gave

00:23up on his dream. The man who built one of the world's largest automobile

00:27companies, Soichiro Honda. Young Soichiro Honda excitedly rushes to the scene

00:32upon hearing a loud noise. He spots his first motor car on the road. Growing up

00:37in a small village in Japan, young Soichiro Honda was fascinated by machines. One

00:43day, he saw something that would change his life forever. A motor car. He was

00:48mesmerized. And in that moment, he knew. He wanted to create something

00:53extraordinary. Soichiro was not a top student. In fact, he struggled in school,

00:58often preferring to work with his hands rather than study. But his passion for

01:03machines was undeniable. Transition scene to Honda, now a teenager, leaving his home to

01:10pursue his dream in Tokyo. He joins Art Shikai, an automobile repair shop. At just 15 years old,

01:17Honda left his village for Tokyo, where he began working at Art Shikai, an automobile repair shop.

01:23It was here that he learned the intricacies of automobile engineering. It wasn't just fixing

01:27cars, he was studying them, understanding every nut and bolt. After six years of hard work,

01:33he returned home and opened his own repair shop. But Soichiro didn't just want to fix cars,

01:38wanted to innovate. Honda saw an opportunity in the growing automobile industry. He spent years designing

01:46a new piston ring that he believed would revolutionize car engines. He was confident that

01:51Japan's largest car company, Toyota, would buy his design. Excited and full of hope,

01:56he presented his creation to Toyota. But the response shocked him. His design was rejected.

02:02Most people would have given up. But not Honda. Instead of quitting,

02:07he went back to the drawing board. He enrolled in engineering school and spent two more years

02:11perfecting his design. And then, success. Finally, Toyota accepted his improved design and gave him a

02:19contract. Honda thought this was the beginning of his success. But fate had other plans. After his

02:25contract was secured, Honda built his first factory. But soon, disaster struck. World War II began.

02:33His factory was bombed twice. Everything he had worked for was destroyed. Still, he didn't give up.

02:40He rebuilt his factory. But then, nature struck. A massive earthquake destroyed it again. He had

02:46lost everything. Most people would have given up. But Honda was different. Japan was devastated.

02:53People needed a cheap way to get around. That's when Honda had an idea. He combined a small motorcycle

02:59with a bicycle. It was simple, but revolutionary. At first, no one noticed. But as people saw how

03:07practical it was, demand grew. Honda began to produce these motorcycles in large numbers. And so,

03:15in 1948, Honda Motor Company was born. It started with motorcycles. And soon, Honda became the largest

03:22motorcycle manufacturer in Japan. Within a few years, Honda motorcycles dominated the world market.

03:28But Honda wasn't done yet. He had another dream. Cars. To compete with companies like Toyota and Nissan.
