Welcome to Churchill
"Success is not final, Failure is not fatal, It is courage to continue that counts."
This site was named "Churchill" out of a whim but the quote is great. The picture reminds me that we are often in this world surrounded by shit but often it is from our own doing. I will attempt to fill this blog with a steady stream of thoughts and ideas
Everyone now days has a list of rules to live by. I thought there would be no better way to begin this Blog than start out with my (12) Rules to live by. I wrote these as an exercise to combine my imagination of what is right with simplicity and honest observations.

THANKS FOR DROPPING IN
12 Rules to Live By
​
1. Stand up Straight, head up, shoulders back and make eye contact. Tall is good, posture makes an impression and eye contact is quiet honesty.
​
2. Be kind!!! There is no greater attribute than kindness and no greater gift.
​
3. Wash your hands: Cleanliness and neatness count. Like rule #1 the littlest things all too often count the most or at least significantly.
​
4. Believe, have faith: Life is a long time and so much mystery is revealed let some of it stay unknown and rely on faith. Religion is not opium but glue. Allow it to keep your life together.
​
5. Work Hard: You can’t control the amount of natural talent your given in life and you can’t control luck which in many cases is prominent in success. But you can control your effort and how hard you work makes a huge difference. Is it fair? NO but you have the great equalizer for the most part Hard Work.
​
6. Don’t be Cynical: You have choices in life. Choose to be positive and look for ways to make things better not just point out flaws.
​
7. Learn to Dance: Girls love guys that can dance well and guys who dance well are always cool. And if you’re a girl learning to dance allows you to meet and dance with cool guys.
​
8. Laugh: invest in comedy, be silly, being too serious is a trap. Try your best to enjoy the journey that we are taking.
​
9. Make a few good friends, collecting friends like baseball cards depreciates their value and clutters life. Once you have them don’t trade them, lose touch or forget their value. Work to have their back always!
​
10. Try to be thin. Thin people have more confidence, look better and pay less for their clothes. Moderation is the key here. And if you can’t manage to win this struggle not to worry it’s just a suggestion and better plump than obsessive, Also see rule #7.
​
11. Spend time with small children, usually two through sixish, at every opportunity. They have a purity and goodness only God can instill and mankind can remove. Before that happens learn from them, watch their happiness and fascination with life, their trust and simplicity. Appreciate what you have forgotten.
​
12. Maybe 11 is enough…. better yet use this to write your own.
