Winston Churchill’s Greatest Mistake & Lessons Learned From It…

Everyone makes mistakes, even the greatest minds in the world. In this video, I’ve chosen to highlight a historical icon that I grew up with—Winston Churchill. He was always presented as this larger than life person. To this day, I constantly see his quotes being posted as words of inspiration. And I’ll admit, one of my favorite quotes ever comes from him. But more recently, as I’ve gotten to know more about the context of his life, that quote that I’ve loved so much takes on even more meaning and in fact offers the window to something truly wonderful for us all. I examine this by highlighting Churchill’s mistakes in life. Why am I doing this? To poke fun at him? To chop him down to size? No. My aim is for us to see that A) he’s human, just like the rest of us and therefore EACH of us is capable of greatness, B) mistakes can never define your legacy if you choose not to have them define you and C) the lessons you learn from mistakes can propel you towards that greatness you see.
