It proves detrimental when you hold false standards of measurement for others. It belittles their seemingly inconsequential ideas, makes fun of their simplicity, and undervalues the significance of the little things they do and share out of love. By doing so you ultimately underestimate your own intelligence.
 

Italian industrialist and entrepreneur Ferruccio Lamborghini, who is widely known as the inventor and founder of one of the most fashionable, luxury and high-performance cars of all time, once bought himself the most prestigious car of his time ‘Ferrari ’ to celebrate the success of his tractor business back in the early 1960s. But after buying the car he felt quite disappointed with some of the features including inferior clutches and noisy gearbox for which, as a loyal Ferrari customer, he went to meet the owner Enzo Ferrari. He went to him with his suggestions on features he apparently felt needed refinement and immediate attention but proud Enzo shrugged off all his complaints and rejected even to consider his offers boasting he probably didn’t need any advice from a tractor owner.
 

This insult initiated Ferruccio to build his own top-notch performance car to show Enzo Ferrari how he was right on his suggestions and what he was missing out. Lamborghini decided to create a car with a V12 engine for he discovered a very talented engineer Giampaolo Dallara who had previously worked on a Ferrari V12 engine. He founded an auto factory in the small town of Sant’Agata and in the next four decades what he did is history.

Ferruccio Lamborghini was born in 1916 to farmers in the Emilia-Romagna region, Italy. From early childhood, he was fascinated with engines and his first interest in engines evolved from his father’s equipment with which he would experiment. During World War II, he joined the army in the Regia Aeronautica, which was an isolated area with no car or truck repairing facility on the way, when he learned repairing broken down cars, motorcycles, and trucks with reused parts. He became popular as an expert at mechanical improvisation and fixing engines.
 

After returning home as a civilian he opened a small garage and experienced the desperate need of tractors in the agricultural area. He started converting military vehicles into tractors and when the demand grew he began building his own tractor engine. At the end of the 1940s, he became self-sufficient with a comprehensive factory manufacturing its individual engines and transmission units. The sole reason for shifting his business from farm vehicles to super-power cars was Enzo Ferrari’s undermining words, “you stick to tractors and let me build sports cars.”
 

Ferruccio Lamborghini has shown us how incredibly successful you can become in life and what kind of a mythos you can establish only by facing a problem in his daily life, a vision that evolved out of this problem, and a competitor that truly spurred Lamborghini. The vision to create the perfect sports car that is not a repurposed track car, but a normal road car. This mixture of ambition and encouragement has allowed Ferruccio Lamborghini to found the Lamborghini brand.
