Kdison in happy nml doesn't know it, the tnnnufactur-, r thinks, and procwds to plve ; his formula for a happjr and use- : ful life. (Copyrighted 1929 by the V. P.) j ' FORT MYERS. FlR.. Feb. 20. ' TP) Henry Ford the philoso-' .ner. the Idealist, with an artist s view of the unity of the universe. ' waa revealed in an Interview with the United Press today at his, winter home here. j Happiness Formula Ford gave his formula for ' happiness. He picked out Thomas A. Edison, his winter neighbor, and long time friend fis an examplo of a truly harpy man. He traced the course of Edison's life and showed why he believed the SI year old Inventor as one of the happiest of be ings although he may not be lieve it himself. ' Ford tapped on his desk with a pencil and said: Ambition and Hard Work "You ask my formula for happy life. It is ambition ami hard work. Show me a man who Is deeply interested in his work one who is not working for pay day and I will show you a happy man." Ford generalized still further, before driving home his point that Edison was an example of a happy man. "We are put on this earth to work and In work rests our hap piness." he declared. Cites Edison As Happy The motor magnate, who agrees with his crony on almost everything, imparted In the in terview that they disagree on the number of happy persons in the world. In his birthday in terview, Feb. 11, Edison said he was not acquainted with any one who was happy. ". "Mr, Edison does not think anyone Is happy Ford said. "I ' hare a little different idea about it. I will put him up as an i example of happiness." j "I think that work and a per son's interest in work brings about more true happiness than any other one thing. j Aniibitlon Hupplne ' ''Ambition to do great things to that end? Is surely tho hat-' plness of any human life. Look at Mr. Edison for example for jie is the finest example I know. He Is happy In his work. He forgets everything else. He sees nothing ele and he lives for nothing else. And.auore all else he is happy himself despite the fact he told newspapermen that he does not know a happy man." "You might, inquire why Mr. Edison is so hatpy and how he obtained his h piness." Ford continued. "Weil, as a boy he was happy. He had good times In boyacwl and be often talks about them. As a young man lie was happy as a telegraph operator, a newspaper editor and finally a young inventor. He was happy simply because he was always working towards a goal. Incentive To Work "He always had an Incentive to work. His thoughts were oc cupied by visions. He ha 1 dreams of turning night Into day. He made th03e dreams come true with the electric llRht. He had visions of the reproduction of i voice end sound on a record. ' He worked until those visions were realities. "As a matter of fact, he has always been thoroughly happv in llis work. He h-s had great am- billons since boyhood and I think 1 those ambitions made him a happy man." Hoarding Monry Iin, Ford then turned to discussion of his formula for a happy life ambition and hard work." ! - "Hoarding money Is a bad ' practice for young men. I don't believe In It I think that a1 "young man should Invert t,!l the money he can earn In himself. Ilo should spend it en his edtieu-! tlon and the things that go to : make him a bettor man. When ! he reaches middle ae is the ' time to give thuught to saving tor declining years. I "Every boy Bhould be given a fair chance at happiness. When a boy reac.es 14 or 13 years of. age and shows a tendency to delve Into experiments, or do a little more work than hn Is paid for doing, you can put him down as a -prospect of UHeful manhod." Compliment Kill- in Edison, according to Ford, "has done ni:ro fur mankind ; than any other man." He .said , he was an example of the "boy ; who made good." "He has ambitions and even at the nge of 8 2, he is working j night and day on experiments EDISON'S EIGHTY SECOND BIRTHDAY I' t .,, f., rl .
