Winston Churchill was a man with many challenges to overcome, starting as early as his birth. He was born into a family with a tarnished reputation, and to parents that were extremely critical of him; later in life he struggled with school and politics. Despite the many forces working against him, he managed to become a man who is considered by many to be England’s most infamous and great political figure of the 20th century.
Winston Churchill, one of England’s most motivating and beloved public figure, was not always considered to be such a victorious individual He failed many times in both his academic and political career. Despite his many critics that would often publicly abase him, he continued to persevere. Churchill once said, “Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” This is a concept he seemed to live by. Ultimately, this attitude led him to be such an inspiring political leader.
Churchill, a simple name that stands for much more: victory, freedom, strength, and definitely achievement. . In the book “Churchill: the Unexpected Hero,” much is revealed about this leader whose role in World War Two was vital to England’s victory an mental stability. With the reverence that surrounds his name, it surprised me that Churchill was unsuccessful at achieving many goals in his past. He was less then average at many subjects in school, his poorest subject being math. He received all kinds of behavioral warnings. This man who is idolized by millions has a track record that made him out to seem like a child delinquent. Still, while all of these obstacles would discourage some, he fought on and became a brilliant war hero and Prime Minister. It’s inspiring for me to know that one doesn’t have to excel in everything; it can take only one success to put you in the history books.
