| Winston Churchil |
Winston Churchill was a British statesman, military officer, and writer who was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from the year 1940 to 1945 (during the Second World War) and again from the year 1951 to 1955. For some 62 of the years between the year 1900 and 1964, he was a member of parliament (MP) and represented a total of 5 constituencies over that time. Ideologically an adherent to economic liberalism and imperialism, he was for most of his career a member of the Conservative Party, which he led from the year 1940 to 1955. He was a member of the Liberal Party from the year 1904 to 1924.Out of government during his so-called "wilderness years" in the 1930s, Churchill took the lead in calling for rearmament to counter the threat of militarism in Nazi Germany. At the outbreak of the Second World War he was re-appointed First Lord of the Admiralty. In May 1940, he became prime minister, succeeding Neville Chamberlain. Churchill formed a national government and oversaw British involvement in the Allied war effort against the Axis powers, resulting in victory in the year 1945. After the Conservatives' defeat in the 1945 general election, he became Leader of the Opposition. Amid the developing Cold War with the Soviet Union, he publicly warned of an "iron curtain" of Soviet influence in Europe and promoted European unity. Between his terms, he wrote several books recounting his experience during the war. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in the year 1953. He lost the 1950 election but was returned to office in the year 1951. His second term was preoccupied with foreign affairs, especially Anglo-American relations and protection of what remained of the British Empire, with India no longer a part of it. Domestically, his government's priority was their extensive housebuilding programme, in which they were successful. In declining health, Churchill resigned in 1955, remaining an MP until the year 1964. Upon his death in the year 1965, he was given a state funeral. One of the 20th century's most significant figures, Churchill remains popular in the UK and the rest of the Anglosphere. He is generally viewed as a victorious wartime leader who played an integral role in defending liberal democracy against the spread of fascism. A staunch imperialist, he has sometimes been criticised for comments on race, in addition to some wartime decisions such as area bombing. Historians rank Churchill as one of the greatest British prime ministers.
What I understand about his quote is that nothing is fully fantastic in entire life. We may meet success, or, failure. When meet failure, do not think of giving up. Just think of a way to be brave and optimistic to cope them. Think of being a bulletproof to just keep moving.....just like the rabbit.......
