Winston Churchill

Of course, we all know who Winston Churchill is. He was the leader of the British army during World War 2. But he did so much more than that. Churchill was born in 1874, he lived a long life, filled with fulfillment. He was appointed the First Lord of Admiralty, also the Prime Minister, and the Minister of Defense, also remaining a member of Parliment for the remainder of his life. After getting all of these great achievements, he was deemed a knight by Queen Elizabeth the second, also being made a United States citizen, by John F. Kennedy in 1963. He was awarded great honors in his life time and he definetly deserved them. He died on January 24th, 1965, only being a knight for two years. But I still think this was a cool guy. I would have liked to meet him in life if I was alive back then.
Onto the quote, Winston wrote, " Success is not fatal, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts." Obviously, it is saying that no matter how successful you are or how much you fail, never give up hope. There may always be the chance that you will make the achievement you have been trying to reach.
I try this out a lot, it helps me with school. When I fail something, i go straight to the teacher after school, and ask him for help. It's as simple as that. They always say yes, unless they say otherwise, but that should not happen becasue you should never give up, whether your in a bad mood, having a bad day, your girlfriend broke up with you, it does not matter, go have fun, before you grow 2 old and can not, do those things that children usually do.
