Never, ever give up!

1 As a young boy, Britain's great Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, attended a public school called Harrow. He was
not a good student, and had he not been from a famous family, he probably would
have been removed from
the school for
deviating from the rules. Thankfully, he did finish at Harrow and his errors there did not preclude him from going on to the
university. He eventually had a premier army career whereby he was later elected prime minister. He achieved fame for his wit,
wisdom,
civic
duty,
and
abundant
courage
in
his
refusal
to
surrender
during
the
miserable
dark
days
of
World
War
II.
His
amazing determination helped motivate his entire nation and was an inspiration worldwide.

2 Toward the end of his period as prime minister, he was invited to address the patriotic young boys at his old school,
Harrow. The headmaster said, "Young gentlemen, the greatest speaker of our time, will be here in a few days to address you,
and you should obey whatever sound advice he may give you." The great day arrived. Sir Winston stood up, all five feet, five
inches and 107 kilos of him, and gave this short, clear-cut speech: "Young men, never give up. Never give up! Never give up!
Never, never, never, never!"

3 Personal history, educational opportunity, individual dilemmas
鈥?/p>
none of these can inhibit a strong spirit committed to
success.
No
task
is
too
hard.
No
amount
of
preparation
is
too
long
or
too
difficult.
Take
the
example
of
two
of
the
most
scholarly scientists of our age, Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison. Both faced immense obstacles and extreme criticism. Both
were called "slow to learn" and written off as idiots by their teachers. Thomas Edison ran away from school because his teacher
whipped him repeatedly for asking too many questions. Einstein didn't speak fluently until he was almost nine years old and
was
such
a
poor
student
that
some
thought
he
was
unable
to
learn.
Yet
both
boys'
parents
believed
in
them.
They
worked
intensely
each
day
with
their
sons,
and
the
boys
learned
to
never
bypass
the
long
hours
of
hard
work
that
they
needed
to
succeed.
In
the
end,
both
Einstein
and
Edison
overcame
their
childhood
persecution
and
went
on
to
achieve
magnificent
discoveries that benefit the entire world today.

Consider
also
the
heroic
example
of
Abraham
Lincoln,
who
faced
substantial
hardships,
failures
and
repeated
misfortunes in his lifetime. His background was certainly not glamorous. He was raised in a very poor family with only one
year of formal education. He failed in business twice, suffered a nervous breakdown when his first love died suddenly and lost
eight political elections. Later in life, he suffered profound grief over the tragic death of three of his four children. Yet his strong
will was the spur that pushed him forward, strengthening his optimism, dedication and determination. It intensified and focused
his efforts and enabled him to triumph over the overwhelming failures and profound difficulties in his life. A hundred years later,
people from around the world commend Abraham Lincoln as the greatest American president of all time.
