~Sir Winston Churchill~
Victory is an important word in every Military Organization. Everybody once it. Few get it. While most suffer the opposite. Some great military strategist are known never to lose. They were gifted by the Al-mighty. Such list include Alexander the great, Hannibal Barca, Napoleon Bonarparte and Saladin Al- Ayyub. What all these man have in common is nothing but one word Vision. They see what others do not. They sense what others do not. They seem unhuman. And yet they are.
Continuing on, victory has been discussed through history. William Hazzlitt once said, “If you think you can win, you can. Faith is necessary to victory.” Emily Dickinson once wrote "Not one of all the purple host Who took the flag to-day Can tell the definition So clear of victory, As he, defeated, dying, On whose forbidden ear The distant strains of triumph Break agonized and clear"
But what I really do want to discuss is what is personal victory. How do you know when you win a battle or lose the war? What makes it you the winner when there is no loser? In the words of the great Sir Winston Churchill " ...We shall not flag nor fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France and on the seas and oceans; we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be; we shall fight on beaches, landing grounds, in fields, in streets and on the hills. We shall never surrender..."
So until next time, TTFN.
~Lord Horation Nelson~
