Back to Henry, before his Model T came out, driving was on the right side of the vehicle, but he put it on the left in the Model
unbroke way, on the right side. Henry discovered that moving the steering wheel to the left side allowed “passengers easy access to and from the cars” (Ford). He set a new design by looking at something unbroke measuring its
efficiency, necessity, and effec
tiveness. In doing so, he set a new trend and within a short time other automakers followed his lead (McIntosh).
Although I am not quite as dogged as Henry, and although I still drag a toe, it was one of the
most freeing things when I final
ly realized that it was all right to fail. I knew that I had at least tried, but not only that, I have learned, as Henry said, to try again, just doing it smarter.
Colorado County and our region are experiencing progress; we will have some fails. If you see some messes, feel disappointments, realize moments of futility, or even experience a crash, take heart—we are making progress.
