Winston Churchill’s advice to young people

    Here is what Winston Churchill told the youths of the world (and he surely aimed it at both sexes):   

Come on now all you young men, all over the world. . . . These are the years! Don’t be content with things as they are. . . . Enter upon your inheritance, accept your responsibilities. . . . Don’t take No for an answer. Never submit to failure. Do not be fobbed off with mere personal success or acceptance. You will make all kinds of mistakes; but as long as you are generous and true, and also fierce, you cannot hurt the world or even seriously distress her. She was made to be wooed and won by youth. She has lived and thrived only by repeated subjugations. (Quoted from The Life of the Creative Spirit, p. 210.)
